Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions
Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Linguine: If you don't have or don't like linguine, use your favorite gluten-free + corn-free pasta variety such as angel hair pasta, spaghetti, or even raw zucchini noodles.
Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give the best flavor in this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite variety of tomatoes and long as you have (1) cup diced.
Garlic: I like the extra garlic when I make this, but not everyone does. Start with 1-2 cloves of garlic and add more if you prefer.
Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice will give the best flavor and nutrients since it hasn't been pasteurized, but you can also use store-bought organic lemon juice.
Pine Nuts: I added the pine nuts for texture, but they can be omitted.
Parsley: I added the fresh parsley more for the visual effect, but it can be omitted.
Avocado Oil: You can substitute the avocado oil with organic extra-virgin olive oil.
Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.
Serving Size: This recipe will make 1-pound or approximately 4 servings of pasta. Nutritional information is for (1) serving which is 1/2 cup.

Hi,
Oh my goodness, just seeing the name of the recipe made my mouth water! This was delicious as-is, although next time I may add some grilled radicchio as we seem to be always grilling this time of year and I love to add a superfood in when I can. Thank you for the recipe and I look forward to making it again.
Karielyn says
Hi there Julia! Thank you so much! I love the idea of adding the grilled radicchio and I had even though of sprinkling it with some hemp seeds for extra protein so I bet that would be good too.
Thanks again and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
Rose says
Karielyn, this was a fantastic quick dinner! I happen to love pine nuts so I DID NOT leave them off 🙂 Your photos are gorgeous!!
Karielyn says
Hi there Rose! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I love pine nuts too, but for some reason they always get skipped over and neglected when I go through my nut and seed collection so I'm glad I was able to use them in this recipe.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
