      I make the exact thing but don’t cook it and serve room temp over hot pasta. Delish either way!

      Easy to make and quick, too. The linguine is what makes the base of this dish instead of a different pasta. My sons and I devoured this, and had to stop to save some for my wife when she got home. Thanks for the recipe!
