  1. Step 1: First, cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions. Don't forget to drain it and set it aside!

  7. Step 7: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust it according to your preferences!
  8. Step 8: Finally, add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in that dreamy sauce.
  9. Step 9: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a beautiful finishing touch.

Notes

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to restore the sauce's creaminess.
