Very seldom do I get on board with fusion recipes. Mostly because I don’t think they work out, BUT this Spicy Garlic Linguine pasta dish made me a believer. You’re getting the best of both Asian and Italian flavors in this dish.
I was inspired by Marion’s Kitchen to recreate her Spicy Garlic Butter Linguine dish with ingredients I had on hand and with ingredients that fit my dietary needs. Let me tell ya, it did not disappoint! Who knew parmesan cheese would work with fish sauce?!
This Spicy Garlic Linguine is so easy to make and takes less than 30 minutes. The hardest part is probably waiting for your pasta to cook. After that it’s easy-peasy lemon squeezy.
Here are a few things about this dish:
- I prefer linguine pasta but you can really use any type of pasta you have in your pantry. Just cook it according to the package.
- You also don’t have to use pasta. I’ve made this using udon noodles and ramen noodles.
- For my paleo/gluten free friends, you can use things like spaghetti squash. zoodles, or any kind of spiralized veggie. It all works.
- If you’re keto, use whatever kind of noodles that fit your dietary needs. There are lots of options out there!
- You can make this dish your own. If you want it extra spicy, add more chili flakes. Don’t want it spicy, leave out the chili flakes. Love garlic? Add more to it! Make. It. Your. Own.
- If you want to add protein to this dish, I highly recommend cooking about 1/2 pound ground protein in the sauce and then adding the noodles. So good!
I hope you enjoy this Asian/Italian fusion Spicy Garlic Linguine dish as much as I do. Be sure to tag me on Instagram if you make it!
