Instructions
- Add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- While waiting for water to boil, finely chop parsley. Set aside.
- Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
- Once finished, add half the garlic spread and half the parsley to the pot with the linguine, then stir to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
