A SIMPLE, DELICIOUS PASTA AGLIO E OLIO (WITH GARLIC AND OIL)



A Simple, Delicious Pasta Aglio e Olio (With Garlic and Oil) image

A riff on the traditional Italian garlic and oil pasta dish, roasted walnut oil adds an unexpected gentle, nutty flavor. Cool the walnut oil slightly before adding the water to avoid splatters. We think bucatini pasta is the best choice for this dish; however, you also could use whole-wheat spaghetti or angel hair pasta to amp up the dish's nuttiness. For a protein boost, add sautéed shrimp alongside or atop this dish.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 pound dried spaghetti, such as DeCecco
1/3 cup good olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

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



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.

Tips:

  • Use the highest quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, flavorful garlic and olive oil will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of garlic and chili flakes to your taste. If you like a lot of heat, add more chili flakes. If you're not a fan of garlic, use less.
  • Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce immediately after it's cooked. This will help the pasta absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. This will add a delicious finishing touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

Pasta with garlic and oil is a simple but delicious dish that can be made in just a few minutes. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a casual lunch. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
