• while sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. drain well in a colander set in the sink. serve the sauce over the linguine.
