How to prepare Linguine with mixed herbs, cherry tomatoes and spicy oil

To prepare linguine with mixed herbs, cherry tomatoes, and spicy oil, start by carefully washing the cherry tomatoes and cutting each one into four wedges. Then clean the herbs and finely chop them with a knife or a mezzaluna 2 (for more details, see the Cooking School: How to cut vegetables). Place the cherry tomatoes in a large bowl with the herbs, mix, and add salt.

Now take the chili pepper, open it, and remove the seeds with the help of a small knife 4. Heat the oil with two peeled garlic cloves and the chili pepper 5. When the oil starts to form the first bubbles, turn off the heat 6.

Cook the bavette in plenty of salted water 7, and once cooked, drain the pasta very well 8. Combine the bavette with the cherry tomatoes and herbs in the bowl, then mix carefully 9.

After removing the garlic and chili pepper from the oil, dress the linguine 10 and mix carefully to distribute the spicy oil well 11. Your linguine with mixed herbs, cherry tomatoes, and spicy oil is ready, serve it still warm 12.
