Ingredients

• 12 oz linguine pasta
• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked edamame and toss to combine. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing it with the vegetable mixture. If needed, gradually add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to create a light sauce that coats the pasta.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil over the pasta mixture. Toss gently to incorporate.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan or basil if desired. Enjoy!
