I love linguine. I understand Loki serves up a mean dish of pancetta and brussel sprouts linguine.

What's your best linguine dish, Paul

And, why are you picking on Loki

mcmlx

Paul, what is wrong with correct spelling?
Contractions are very important to spell correctly.
I suppose I was lucky enough to have good homeschooling.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Paul,

I love it and you're right about Loki..He is always a gentlemen about it as well..Very helpful and I appreciate it...

slatts it would figure, you, sir, would take it right to food...Do you prefer linguine to spaghetti, too???????? Oh wait, that answer can only be BOTH~~~~

Loki's dish you made reference sounds divine...Another I will have to see if he will share his recipe????????

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

It does, doesn't it. Recipe requested please.

Or perhaps, just the devil's right hand man.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Yess, it does...I have always said men that cook, do so better than women!!..Having tried a couple of his dishes when kind enough to share the recipe I was left ever so pleased....

Wewilly is another with fantastic recipes.....We need to start a recipe threads as he suggested..Can you just imagine the foods we will enjoy!!

Here is one variation: (You can also Google Pancetta & Brussel Sprouts Linguine and get other variations.)

Brussels Sprout, Pancetta, Penne Cooked 207 ratings
INGREDIENTS
Sea salt
8 ounces penne
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
3 ounces pancetta, diced
1 large rosemary sprig
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeño or Serrano chile, thinly sliced (or substitute 1 large pinch crushed red pepper flakes)
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons butter
Fresh lemon juice, for serving
Freshly grated pecorino cheese (optional)
Nutritional Information
PR********N
Bring large pot heavily salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until pasta is just al dente (do not overcook).
Meanwhile, heat large sauté pan over high heat and add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the pancetta and rosemary, and sauté until the fat on the pancetta starts to turn t***slucent and very lightly brown, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, chile and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and sauté until garlic and pancetta turn richly brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brussels sprouts, a large pinch of salt and a splash of water to pan, and sauté until sprouts just start to soften, about 2 minutes. Spread sprouts mixture in pan and press down to flatten. Let it sear for a minute, then stir it up and repeat. This helps brown the sprouts. Add the butter, and sauté for another minute.
Drain penne and add it to pan with brussels sprouts mixture. Cook, tossing, until everything is well mixed. Spoon into pasta bowls and top with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, and a little cheese if you like.

Thanks, will try it, but without the brussels sprouts, which do not agree with SWMBOs system.

I assume you would consider another vegetable, such as asparagus or broccoli

LOL Slatten. I'm not picking on Loki! Proper use of language is one of the things on which we are forever bonded, so I thought he might enjoy this little meme.

As to linguine, I"m a big fan of using a mixture of mushrooms, garlic, shallots, peas and a little cream.
But the pancetta and brussels sprouts sounds pretty amazing.
I also like smoked salmon and baby asparagus, again with a little cream.

I'm pretty much an omnivore, so I doubt there is anything with linguine I would turn down!

Broccoli sounds like a great choice.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I wouldn't be extending a dinner invitation to President George H.W. Bush, then. He was famous at voicing distaste for broccoli.

certainly too much trouble
I prefer Pizza
any flavor
