- 12 ounces linguine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 4 cups diced seeded red, yellow, and orange tomatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 large bunch watercress, trimmed
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for serving
- Cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed pepper; stir 30 seconds. Add tomatoes; sauté just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in vinegar; season sauce with salt and pepper.
- Drain pasta and add to skillet; add watercress and 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Toss until watercress wilts and sauce coats pasta. Transfer to bowl. Serve, passing additional cheese separately.
