Best Roman Style Spaghetti With Garlic And Olive Oil Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH OIL AND GARLIC (AGLIO E OLIO)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente, tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
• While the pasta cooks, combine the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large skillet and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and turns golden, about 8 minutes.
• Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, reserving about a 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved water to the garlic mixture. Mix well. Add the parsley and lemon zest (if using). Adjust seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl or divide amongst 4 to 6 dishes. Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.

ROMAN-STYLE SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rapid boil over high heat; then stir in 1 tbsp. salt. Drop in spaghetti and cook, stirring frequently, until tender - but still firm to the bite.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, combine the oil, garlic and anchovies (if using) over low heat and cook until the garlic just begins to take on a hint of color - do not brown the garlic. Remove from heat.
• 3. Drain spaghetti, transfer to the pan holding the garlicky olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Toss well. Sprinkle with parsley and a nice amount of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti. While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
• When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.
