Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 1 cup canned plum tomatoes, roughly chopped with their juices
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 pound linguine
- 1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley leaves
Directions
Chop red onion into medium dice and toss into a hot 14 to 16-inch saucepan with oil. Add the garlic, chili flakes, potatoes, tomatoes and white wine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender.
Bring 8 quarts of water to a boil in large pasta pot and add 3 tablespoons of salt.
Meanwhile, drop the pasta in the salted water and cook according to the package directions, to 1 minute short of al dente. It should still be quite firm. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander and pour immediately into the saucepan with the potato mixture.
Toss the pasta and cook over high heat for 45 seconds. Stir in the parsley, add some of the reserved water if the pasta seems too dry, and serve immediately.

I saw this on the cooking channel and decided to make it yesterday. My son-in-law can't eat shell fish. So I made shrimp linguine for those who like shrimp and "fake clams" for those who wanted something else. I followed the recipe EXCEPT for the two TABLESPOONS of red pepper flakes. Unless that is something other than the red pepper flakes I get out of the normal spice shelf, it seems way too much for me. So, I made the dish with a half-teaspoon of red pepper flakes and it was plenty spicy without being only about the spice. Anybody make it with two tablespoons? What did you find out? What kind of red pepper flakes did you use? I made mine with McCormick's.

Different, as I've never put pasta and potatoes together, but loved it! We will have this again and again!

This was pretty easy to make. My 5 year old son helped me cut up the vegetables. It was a fun recipe for us to do together. The taste was fantastic. There were a number of layers of flavor--from the wine sauce to the fresh parsley.
