SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

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.

1 pound dried spaghetti
8-10 garlic cloves
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup parsley (fresh)
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Boil a large pot of water. Add salt when it has boiled and add the pasta. Once the pasta has cooked to al dente (look at the package instructions), reserve a cup of the pasta water for the sauce and drain.
  • Slice the garlic into thin slivers (as thin as you can).
  • Mince the parsley.

SPAGHETTI OLIO E AGLIO (SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC IN OLIVE OIL)



Spaghetti Olio E Aglio (Spaghetti With Garlic in Olive Oil) image

Spaghetti aglio e olio is a traditional Italian pasta dish from Naples. It is simple to make and does not take a long time. While the spaghetti is cooking the sauce is made. This recipe cooks fast and there are a lot of timed steps, please read the recipe carefully before cooking. Canola can be replaced for olive oil if there are any allergy concerns. Starchy pasta water is the key to this dish, so it is better to cook the spaghetti in a smaller pot other than a large pasta pot. Also the water must be highly salted when cooking the pasta, the salt content will not be as elevated as the nutrition info says.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO E FRIED SHALLOT



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Fried Shallot image

Adding homemade or store-bought fried shallots to classic garlic spaghetti gives it extra caramelized sweetness and depth of flavor, along with crunch. Add the shallots in two stages so that some of them soften and give their flavor to the sauce, and the rest remain crispy. Cooking the spaghetti in a relatively small amount of water concentrates its starch, making it easier to form a creamy, emulsified sauce. If you can't have your pasta without cheese, feel free to grate some Parm or pecorino on top at the table.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup store-bought or homemade fried shallots (see Tip)
Kosher salt
6 medium garlic cloves
1 pound dried spaghetti (see Tip)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 2. If using store-bought shallots, toast them in a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and roughly mince. Set aside. Add a couple of inches of water and a large pinch of salt to the skillet, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente (about a minute less than the package directions).
  • Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup oil, the minced garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt in a large saucepan or skillet. Heat, stirring frequently, over medium-low until the garlic is very aromatic and just starting to turn pale gold in parts, about 5 minutes. It should maintain a very gentle sizzle the whole time it is cooking (adjust heat as necessary). When the garlic is done, shut off the heat, then, using a ladle or spoon, add a large splash of the pasta water to the pan with oil to halt the cooking. Add half the toasted shallots and stir.
  • When the pasta is just shy of al dente, using tongs, transfer it to the pan with the garlic oil, allowing any liquid that clings to it to come along; reserve a bit of the pasta water. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Return the pan with the pasta and garlic oil to high heat, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until a creamy, emulsified sauce coats the pasta. (If the sauce looks watery, continue tossing and cooking. If it looks broken and oily, add some more pasta water a few tablespoons at a time and continue cooking until it emulsifies.) Stir in the parsley and chives (if using), season to taste with more salt (it can take quite a bit of salt), transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved toasted fried shallots and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Use a large skillet or pot to cook the pasta, so that it has plenty of room to move around.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with pasta, or it will cook unevenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but taste it a few minutes before the recommended cooking time is up, to make sure it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic to the olive oil and cook until it is fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute.
  • Add the red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the garlic and olive oil.
  • Toss the pasta to coat it in the sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (if desired).

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with oil and garlic is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will enjoy.
