Best Spaghetti With Oil And Garlic Aglio E Olio Recipes

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
• Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO (PASTA IN GARLIC AND OIL SAUCE) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti until just shy of al dente (about 1 minute less than the package directs). Reserve pasta cooking water.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OIL (AGLIO E OLIO)

Steps:

• Pasta and sauce: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat, and add the olive oil, garlic, and dried chiles. Sauté until garlic is very lightly brown, 4-5 minutes. Finish the sauce by turning heat to low and adding the chopped parsley and 8-10 grinds of black pepper. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti: When the water is boiling, add 2 large pinches of salt, then add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 3 minutes less than what the box advises, stirring occasionally so it doesn't clump. Reserve ¾ cup pasta water.
• Assembly: Drain the pasta, then return to the pot. Pour reserved pasta water and sauce into the pot. Cook over low heat, gently tossing the pasta with the sauce for 1-2 minutes to allow it to "marry"-or absorb-the sauce. The pasta should be firm to the bite. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Transfer to a platter or bowl and serve immediately.
