SPAGHETTI WITH SPICY GREENS AND GARLIC



Spaghetti with Spicy Greens and Garlic image

We must keep the garlic industry afloat. We buy ropes and ropes of the stuff. There's no such thing as too much garlic. From the Great Big Food Show

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for pasta water
16 cloves peeled garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
12 cups torn greens, such as mustard, kale, chard, escarole, or a mix
12 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Game Plan: Slice the garlic and onions while the water boils. Wash and tear the greens while the onions brown.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil and salt it generously. Cook garlic in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes; take care that the garlic doesn't get too brown or it will be bitter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel. Pour off and reserve all but 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and red pepper (add a little more if you like things spicy) to the skillet and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 10 minutes. Season with the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • When the onions are almost done, add the greens to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, just until tender, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the greens from the water, shake off the excess water, add them to the onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a fresh pot of water to a boil. Salt it generously, add the spaghetti, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Scoop out and reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water; drain the pasta. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and toss with the cheese. Add the greens and some of the reserved pasta water and toss, adding more water as necessary to keep the pasta from clumping. Scatter the garlic chips over the top and serve.

ALICE WATERS' SPAGHETTI WITH GREEN GARLIC RECIPE



Alice Waters' Spaghetti with Green Garlic Recipe image

Spaghetti with oil and garlic has always been a favorite pasta dish of mine. Its simplicity entrances me. Taking a cue from Waters' recipe in The Art of Simple Food, I replaced her regular garlic with green garlic, but otherwise followed the recipe closely: a simple combination of the cloves with a tiny bit of minced parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes, cooked with plenty of good olive oil.

Provided by Blake Royer

Categories     Dinner     Pasta

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Salt
1 pound spaghetti
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 heads green garlic (or 4 cloves regular garlic), thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Small pinch of red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large (3-quart) saucepan over medium heat until shimming. Add the garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup of water. Cover and sweat, stirring occasionally, until soft, adding more water if necessary to keep the garlic from caramelizing too much.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the garlic mixture and toss well to combine. Add some pasta cooking water if necessary to bring the dish to a creamy consistency. Serve with more olive oil and the minced tops of the green garlic, if desired.
