Equipment

  • saucepan

Ingredients

  • ½ lb Linguine
  • 4 oz Garlic and herb soft goat cheese
  • 4.4 oz Pomegranate arils
  • Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil
  • Add pasta. Reduce heat and cook until al dente, according to package directions.
  • Save ~1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Return pasta back to the pot on low heat. Add sliced goat cheese.
  • Add pasta water, 1-2 Tbsp at a time as the goat cheese melts. I usually use about 1/4 cup.
  • Once the pasta sauce is at the consistency you want, turn off the heat and add half the pomegranate arils and 7-10 twists of the pepper grinder.
  • Portion on to separate plates and top with the remaining pomegranate arils and more fresh cracked pepper.
  • Serve immediately.
