Preparing the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente, usually 9–11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the starchy cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside. The reserved water will help emulsify the sauce later.
