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, OLIO, E PEPERONCINO CON BOTTARGA



Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino con Bottarga image

Muggine bottarga (cured mullet roe) is an ancient traditional food from the island of Sardinia in Italy. I have enjoyed this treat for so many years I just had to share it with you. A classic pasta dish from Italy becomes a specialty by adding bottarga to it. Enjoy!

Provided by Buckwheat Queen

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 ounces grated Sardinian mullet bottarga, divided
4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
1 small lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  • Add garlic to the oil and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chile pepper and stir together, reducing the temperature to medium-low. Continue stirring. The garlic should never become dark brown or crispy. If this has happened, the garlic is burnt and no longer appropriate for consumption.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving at least 1 cup pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the oil mixture, still on medium-low heat. Stir or toss until all the spaghetti is well coated. Add 3/4 of the bottarga and stir to mix with the spaghetti, adding the reserved pasta water to hydrate as needed. There should be a little "sauce" when serving but not soupy.
  • Divide onto 4 plates and sprinkle with chopped parsley and lemon zest; squeeze lemon juice over and sprinkle remaining bottarga on top right before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the tastier your spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino will be. Look for flavorful garlic, ripe tomatoes, and high-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the garlic and chili peppers, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to burn.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked just until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and texture when you toss it with the sauce.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino. Look for a fruity, flavorful olive oil that is made from ripe olives.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: Spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino is a simple dish, but it can be easily customized to your liking. Add more garlic or chili peppers if you like it spicy, or add some chopped parsley or basil for a pop of freshness.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover pasta and it is also a very affordable meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
