  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
  • When the water is boiling, add the linguine then bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
