Ingredients

• ¼ cup Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus more for garnish
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 3 Farm Boy™ Anchovy Fillets, minced, or 1 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Anchovy Paste
• 1 tsp Farm Boy™ Crushed Chili Peppers or minced jalapeño pepper or more to taste
• 3 cups cherry or grape tomatoes half of them halved
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• ½ pack Farm Boy™ Linguine
• ½ cup Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated plus more for garnish
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Farm Boy™ Linguine and cook according to the package directions until the pasta is just al dente. Save 2/3 cup of the pasta water, then drain pasta.

4. Add tomatoes and ½ tsp salt. Cook until tomatoes begin to burst, about 7-8 minutes.
5. Add lemon zest and juice, cooked pasta, and ½ cup of the pasta water to the skillet. Toss well.
6. Mix in Pecorino Romano cheese and additional pasta water, if needed, to make a sauce.
7. Stir in fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve, garnished with more basil leaves, more Pecorino, and a drizzle of Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
