How to create new dotnetcore EMPTY web project template from a command line

Question

At the command line I can type

dotnet new -t web

to scaffold a new asp.net core web project but it contains the 'full template' (equivalent to creating a new MVC project in Visual Studio).

In visual studio I can create a new EMPTY project too (which just returns a 'Hello World' string response).

Is there an equivalent command line option to scaffold an EMPTY project?

I have found the docs for the dotnet newcommand here but there doesn't seem to be such an option

Update

Microsoft no longer support yeoman, and the provided links below will redirect permanently to:

dotnet new

According to MS docs

Building Projects with Yeoman

you can also use the Yeoman command-line tool yo alongside a Yeoman generator.

You are going to need to install Node.js and npm.

From there run the ASP.NET generator for yo

yo aspnet

The generator displays a menu. Arrow down to the Empty Web Application project, tap Enter and then name your project. Yeoman will scaffold the project and its supporting files.
