Ever since I made my mother-in-law’s Baccala and Chickpeas recipe, the Italian has been craving Baccala. So I decided to make this Delicious Baccala Linguine.

What does Baccala mean?

The direct translation is Dried Cod or as my father-in-law in jest would call his grandchildren when they were acting silly.

If you have never made or eaten baccala it is so much easier if you buy pre soaked baccala. All you have to do is cut it up and add it to your sauce.

How to make Baccala Linguine Recipe

  • If you buy pre soaked Baccala no need to soak it yourself.
  • In a large pan add olive oil, sliced grape tomatoes, fresh basil and parsley and spices.
  • Cook for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add the cut up baccala and cook until tender.
  • Toss with the cooked pasta and black olive slices, and serve immediately.
