Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dried spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic cloves
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, plus more if desired
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. The reserved pasta water will help create the sauce. Do not rinse pasta with water -- you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It's important not to burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the pasta and toss to coat in the flavored oil. Add the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, to create a sauce, 1 minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and top with the fresh herbs.

Tips:

  • Use good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
  • Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a more intense flavor than powdered garlic, and it will help to create a more flavorful sauce.
  • Use good quality crushed red pepper flakes. The quality of the crushed red pepper flakes will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for flakes that are brightly colored and have a fresh, pungent aroma.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the pasta will not cook evenly and the sauce will be watery.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the perfect texture for pasta with olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper sauce.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Penne with olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of the rich olive oil, fragrant garlic, and spicy crushed red pepper flakes creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the sauce. You can also adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to make the sauce more or less spicy. No matter how you choose to make it, penne with olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper sauce is a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to become a family favorite.
