Linguine with Spicy Mushroom Ragu

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 pound common white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
• 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound linguine
• Grated Parmesan cheese to taste

1. Bring a large quantity of water to a boil in a stockpot.
2. To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook 30 seconds.
4. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until brown and juicy, about 10 minutes.
5. Mix in the tomatoes, rosemary, and salt, and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes.
6. If the sauce begins to splatter during cooking, lower the heat to medium-low.
7. Keep the sauce warm while cooking the linguine.
8. Drop the linguine into the boiling water and cook until al dente.
9. Taste one along the way to avoid overcooking it.
10. Drain thoroughly in a colander and return to the pot.
11. Pour on the sauce and toss.
12. Serve with a light sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
