Linguine With Olive Oil & Parmesan image

Sometimes I enjoy my pasta with a heaping mound of sauce and other times I'm in the mood for something a little lighter and simpler. This recipe is just the ticket for that. Loads of flavor and not a lot of fuss. This dish is quick and easy and would work well as a side for a heavier dish. Goes great with a glass of riesling.... or two. Enjoy!
