Citrus Heat Pasta: Lemon‑Garlic Chili Oil Linguine with Herb Finish

Citrus Heat Pasta: Lemon‑Garlic Chili Oil Linguine with Herb Finish

Strain Pairing:

Super Lemon Haze (sativa‑leaning hybrid) – bright citrus, gentle herbal bite, and uplifting clarity. Perfect for a daytime meal, creative flow, or social cooking moment without couch‑lock vibes.

Terpene Focus:
Limonene – fresh, zesty, and naturally complementary to lemon, garlic, and olive oil. Keeps the dish light, aromatic, and food‑forward.

Ingredients (1–2 servings)

  • 6 oz dry linguine or spaghetti
  • 3 tbsp extra‑virgin olive oil
  • 0.4 g Super Lemon Haze flower (for decarb & infusion)
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or basil
  • Optional finish: grated Parmesan or vegan parm

Decarboxylation Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C).
  2. Lightly grind 0.4 g Super Lemon Haze.
  3. Spread on parchment‑lined tray.
  4. Bake 35–40 minutes, stirring once halfway.
  5. Cool completely.

Infusion Instructions (Limonene‑Infused Olive Oil)

  1. In a small saucepan or double boiler, gently warm 3 tbsp olive oil over very low heat.
  2. Add decarboxylated cannabis.
  3. Hold at low heat for 2 hours, never frying or bubbling.
  4. Strain through cheesecloth.
  5. Set aside; use immediately or store sealed.

Full Recipe Steps

  1. Bring a salted pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. In a wide pan over low heat, warm 2 tbsp infused olive oil.
  3. Add sliced garlic and chili flakes. Cook gently until fragrant and barely golden.
  4. Add cooked pasta, lemon zest, and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to coat.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs.
  6. Finish with remaining 1 tbsp infused oil for aroma and gloss.
  7. Plate and top with Parmesan if desired.

Bright. Savory. Clean finish. This eats like a restaurant dish—not an “edible.”

Front Page Headlines   Federal Rescheduling: The Wait Is Almost Over?   Trump’s December 2025 Executive Order kicked the ball down the field to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III.
