We were just so-so on the linguine tonight. I don’t know what it was about it. Larry said he didn’t like the chorizo – but it’s the good Spanish chorizo I normally buy. I thought there was too much linguine (I used whole wheat, by the way). I made half a recipe, which should have served 2-3, but I think we could have served two more people. I don’t like having leftover seafood.
