Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil over high heat. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to halt cooking.
- In the same pot, add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil and then minced garlic and sliced scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Combine chopped Castelvetrano olives, chives, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl. Stir to mix evenly and set aside.
- Pour in 1 cup of reserved pasta water into the skillet, stirring gently. Bring to a simmer and add cooked linguine and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to coat.
- Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Fold in blanched broccolini.
- Plate the linguine, top with olive mixture and crispy breadcrumbs. Finish with extra Parmesan and enjoy.
