My husband (still feels so weird to say that!) and I are huge balsamic vinegar fans! We put it on everything, from meats to veggies (it totally loves oven-crisped asparagus) to bread, and I’m always looking for new and delicious ways to incorporate it into my recipes.

Which is why I absolutely love this side dish! It’s a great accompaniment for all kinds of meaty main dishes, like chicken and steak. It features lots of delicious balsamic paired with heavy cream to create a luscious and rich sauce for the linguine. Fresh arugula tossed in at the last minute gives a nice peppery flavor to the dish also.

Ingredients
  1. 1 lb. linguine
  2. 3 tbsp. butter
  3. 2 large shallots, minced
  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  5. ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  6. 2 cups heavy cream
  7. 3 large handfuls arugula
  8. Kosher salt
  9. Ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook linguine to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve about ½ cup pasta water.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add balsamic vinegar and allow to simmer until cooked down to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and whisk to combine with the balsamic vinegar. Allow to simmer over low heat until the mixture has reduced to about 1 to 1 ¼ cups. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Once pasta has finished cooking, add directly to skillet with cream sauce. Toss to combine. Add some of the reserved pasta water if it is too thick.
