Spaghetti aglio burro ed olio con le olive is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make yet bursting with flavor. The combination of garlic, butter, olive oil, and parsley creates a rich and savory sauce that coats the spaghetti perfectly. The addition of olives adds a briny and salty touch that balances the richness of the other ingredients. This dish is a perfect weeknight meal, as it can be prepared in under 30 minutes. It is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO
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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
- Combine garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat to slowly toast garlic, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low when olive oil begins to bubble. Cook and stir until garlic is golden brown, about another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt into the pasta. Pour in olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; stir until combined.
- Serve pasta topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO, BURRO ED OLIO, CON LE OLIVE
Spaghetti with Garlic, Butter and Oil, with Olives I threw this together one night on one of my "No Beau to cook for, it's getting late to fix a complicated meal" nights, just grabbing whatever looked good. It turned out so good and I was so pleased with the results, it was pointed out to me on zaar I should jot it down. Very simple, very quick. It can be tweaked for preference too, next time I might add red pepper flakes. This makes one serving, but is easily multiplied for number of servings needed.

Steps:
- Toast the bread crumbs along with the parsley in a dry saucepan until golden brown. Reserve.
- Bring salted water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti for about 6 minutes or just until al dente. Drain, but reserve a few ladles of pasta water.
- In another pan, while the pasta is cooking, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and combine the garlic and chili peppers over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown. Do not burn the garlic; otherwise it will become bitter.
- Add the spaghetti to the pan with the olive oil, and mix well. To prevent dryness, ladle some pasta water to the pasta. Cook for another minute, or until the desired state of al dente.
- Mix in the toasted bread crumbs and parsley before 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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful garlic, good quality olive oil, and briny olives.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the garlic and chili flakes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming bitter.
- Add the pasta to the sauce as soon as it is cooked. This will help the pasta absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti aglio burro ed olio con le olive is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
