Time 20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Salt
2 to 3 whole fresh peperoncini (small red chiles), or small dried red chiles
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
3/4 pound linguine or spaghetti

Steps:

  • Put a pot of salted water on to boil. Remove the stems of the peperoncini, halve them lengthwise, then slice them into 1/4-inch lengths. Put the oil, garlic and peperoncini in a large deep pan set over medium-high heat, and cook until the garlic is translucent and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the parsley to the pan, and turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta until it is aldente, nearly but not quite done and still a bit chalky in the middle. Drain, and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • When the oil has cooled for a couple of minutes, add 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and reduce over high heat by about half. Add the pasta, and stir vigorously as it continues to cook. Add the reserved pasta water a bit at a time as necessary to finish cooking the pasta, and develop the thickened sauce. Season with salt, and serve.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO E PEPERONCINO (GARLIC, OIL & PEPPERS)



Spaghetti Aglio Olio E Peperoncino (Garlic, Oil & Peppers) image

This recipe is from Pasta Cooking by Jeni Wright, c. 2002. The cook's tips (from the book) are as follows: 1) Since the oil is such an important ingredient here, only use the very best cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, 2) Don't use salt in the oil and garlic mixture because it will not dissolve sufficiently. This is why plenty of salt is recommended for cooking the pasta.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio image

No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.
