LINGUINE WITH GARLIC, OIL, CHILI PEPPER AND AROMATIC HERBS
CHEF’S TIPS

In this Italian traditional recipe, the classic plating of the braid-shaped linguine brings a particular harmony to the dish. To make it, simply use a fork to shape the pasta and obtain the desired effect.

In addition, the wise use of aromatic herbs helps to renew the taste of the traditional recipe “garlic, oil and chili pepper”, giving each bite lively and tantalizing chromatic notes of flavor.

A tasty idea to surprise both palate and eyesight.
