This picture-perfect linguine is a feast for the eyes and, with a hint of heat, a treat for the palate. Lots of flavor! Any decent white wine will do too, and the lemon (consider freshly squeezed) just brings it all home. Also you can substitute grated Parmesan for the feta. This one’s indeed a winner.
