Linguine with Asparagus and Goat Cheese

3/4 pound dry linguine

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup hot chicken or vegetable stock

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3-1/2 ounces soft goat cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed, blanched, and shocked in ice water

1 bunch spinach, stemmed, thoroughly washed, and dried

1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese

In a large pot, bring about 8 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, 7 to 10 minutes; drain well.

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, lemon zest, stock, olive oil, goat cheese, and salt and pepper to taste; add asparagus, snow peas, and spinach. Add the pasta and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
