I love a good pasta dish to serve when I grill chicken on the barbecue.  This linguini with garlic sauce is one of those recipes that is great as a side dish or as a main course.  It is creamy and absolutely delicious!!   I served it with my Easy Grilled Chicken and yumm, this was so good!  This comes from the Taste of Home recipes, and the main thing I did different was not to add the toasted pine nuts since I didn’t have any on hand.
