Gremolata Pasta

Gremolata pasta is a very simple pasta dish that you can make in less than 15 minutes. This makes a great lunch or light dinner, but it specially tastes great as a side dish for osso bucco or braised short ribs. There are many versions of gremolata pasta: some have tomatoes, others anchovies, but to me, this recipe seems to be the best one because it's so simple and very fast to make.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pkg. fresh linguini (9 oz)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup freshly Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced

1. Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water according to package directions, or al dente.
2. Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a large pasta bowl. Once your pasta is done, drain well and

add the hot pasta and toss to coat.
