Notes

Amber's Tips For Great Linguine:
  • Don’t overheat the oil — burnt chili flakes will make the whole dish taste bitter.
  • Drain artichokes well to keep the oil mixture from getting watery.
  • Add-ins like cherry tomatoes, spinach, arugula, or roasted red peppers work beautifully for extra color and flavor.
  • Best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
