Roman-Style Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil image

This pasta makes a very satisfying supper. No tomatoes in this dish -- just the richness from the olive oil, garlic and the hidden flavor from the anchovies (as they melt away, they impart a very nice flavor and slight color).

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

salt
12 oz spaghetti noodles
1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil (or less if you prefer)
1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced (or to taste)
3 anchovy filets, flat (rinsed and drained and patted dry - optional)
freshly ground black pepper (or red pepper flakes)
2 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rapid boil over high heat; then stir in 1 tbsp. salt. Drop in spaghetti and cook, stirring frequently, until tender - but still firm to the bite.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, combine the oil, garlic and anchovies (if using) over low heat and cook until the garlic just begins to take on a hint of color - do not brown the garlic. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Drain spaghetti, transfer to the pan holding the garlicky olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Toss well. Sprinkle with parsley and a nice amount of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of garlic, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The garlic flavor was not overpowering, and the olive oil sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely make this dish again.

This dish was a bit bland for me. I think it needed more garlic and olive oil. I also added some salt and pepper to taste.
