Why linguine?
Linguine is the type of pasta I used in this recipe. I assure you that all these flavors will work great with any other pasta you have. However, I found that flatter and longer pasta is best, combined with olive oil.
Moreover, I think that paprika, olives, spinach and olive oil add more fresh and light taste to the pasta dishes than if you cover it with thick creamy-cheesy sauce…
Shredded mozzarella adds soft creamy hints, but of course no pasta dishes can be served without hard cheese on top! Yes, I’m a huge fun of cheese, are you? Well, I think the major part of cooking blog readers are!
And definitely a lot of people enjoy easy pasta recipes like this!
Italian seasoning for pasta recipes
This pasta dish is so inviting with these red and green colors, and I love to finish it with Italian seasoning. Season well!
You can buy it already made or you can make it yourself – just combine same quantities of each dry spice: basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary and a little bit of sugar, salt and pepper.
Store in preferably in a cool, dark, dry place (but not in fridge) and add it in your pasta dishes!
Serving linguine
I suggest serving linguine right away in a big warm plate. Add all vegetables, cheese, gently combine and enjoy! However, if you don’t serve it immediately, add a tablespoon of olive oil in drained pasta. This will prevent it from sticking together.
I also recommend serving tomato sauce on the side!
