Best Linguine With Garlic Oil And Hot Pepper Recipes

PASTA WITH GARLIC AND OIL

Steps:

• Boil pasta per package instructions. Drain pasta and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil into the pot the pasta was cooked in. Add in garlic and saute for one minute.
• Add in red pepper flakes and spinach and cook for an additional minute. Add pasta back to the pan and stir in the rest of the oil and lemon juice.
• Take off of the heat and sprinkle in the parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, OIL AND HOT RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Bring 5 to 6 quarts water to rolling boil.
• Peel garlic cloves, removing green sprout at center, if necessary, and chop coarsely. In pan large enough to hold all the drained pasta, cook garlic in oil very gently over medium-low heat. Cook just until garlic softens and starts to turn golden. Do not brown.
• Add at least 2 tablespoons salt to vigorously boiling water. Add spaghetti, stirring.
• If using anchovies, add them to oil and garlic. Cook briefly, mashing anchovy pieces into oil with fork. Stir in chili pepper and half of the parsley, and carefully add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water. Let simmer, and reduce slightly while pasta finishes cooking.
• Start testing pasta after it has cooked for 4 minutes. When it is still a little chewy in the center, drain and add it to pan with sauce. Turn heat up slightly, and cook, mixing pasta and sauce together well for 1 to 2 minutes, or until pasta is done to taste. Turn pasta into preheated serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining minced parsley, and serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH ANCHOVY HOT PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cook linguine in a large pot with salted water until al dente. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a medium saute pan. Add garlic, anchovy, and cherry peppers. Saute until garlic is golden brown. Remove from heat.
• Drain pasta, saving about 1/2 cup of the water. Add pasta back into pot. Place over medium heat. Add garlic mixture and the reserved water. Mix well over heat for 1 minute. Remove and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper, to taste.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC AND OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, oil, and a pinch of salt in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the garlic to simmer, shaking the pan occasionally, until it turns golden; do not allow it to turn dark brown.
• When the water boils, cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. When it is done, drain it, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Reheat the garlic and oil mixture briefly if necessary. Dress the pasta with the sauce and parsley, if using, adding a little more oil or some of the cooking water if it seems dry.
• Variations
• If you have a moderately well-stocked pantry-for example, if you have some olives, capers, chickpeas, dried chiles, canned tomatoes, and so on-you can make any of these delicious variations in less than a half hour.
• Add a couple of dried chiles to the oil along with the garlic. Discard before tossing with the pasta. Alternatively, sprinkle the pasta with hot red pepper flakes or pass some at the table.
• Add 1 cup cooked, drained chickpeas to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add 1 to 2 tablespoons capers to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup minced pitted black olives (preferably imported) to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add a mixture of about 1 cup fresh herbs to the pasta when tossing it with the garlic-oil mixture. You probably will need more olive oil or some of the pasta-cooking water.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND RED PEPPER FLAKES

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. The reserved pasta water will help create the sauce. Do not rinse pasta with water -- you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It's important not to burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the pasta and toss to coat in the flavored oil. Add the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, to create a sauce, 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and top with the fresh herbs.

CLAM PASTA WITH BASIL AND HOT PEPPER

Steps:

• Make the purée: Grind basil and parsley together in a food processor. (Alternatively, hand chop herbs or pound them in a mortar.) Add garlic paste and 1/4 cup olive oil and pulse to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rapid boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions, taking care to keep pasta quite al dente. It's best to use a timer, and drain pasta as soon as it's done.
• While pasta is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed wide pot with a lid over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, fennel seed if using and pepperoncino, and let sizzle without browning, about 1 minute. Add clams, stirring to coat with a wooden spoon. Raise heat to high, add wine and put on the lid. Cook, covered, until all clams have opened, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off heat. (Discard any clams that fail to open.)
• Add cooked pasta and basil purée to pot and toss gently to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with basil leaves and lemon wedges.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC, OIL, AND HOT PEPPER

Steps:

• 1 Pour the oil into a skillet large enough to hold the cooked pasta. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the garlic is a deep gold, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and turn off the heat. 2 Bring at least 4 quarts of cold water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta, pushing it down until the pasta is completely covered with water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite. Set aside some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. 3 Cook over medium heat, tossing until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Add a little of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Serve immediately. VARIATIONS: Add chopped black or green olives, capers, or anchovies along with the garlic. Serve sprinkled with bread crumbs toasted in olive oil or grated cheese. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
