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.

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 pasta could be easier than spaghetti and olive oil, right? Yet I can't believe how badly this sublime and simple pasta gets made, with not enough oil, undercooked garlic, and the addition of cheese, which I think is sinful. Here's my spaghetti aio e olio," says Scott Conant.

Provided by Scott Conant

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound good quality dried spaghetti
3 garlic cloves, sliced very thinly
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, more to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti.
  • While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
  • Use a large skillet or saucepan so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook.
  • Cook the pasta al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with pasta. Cook the pasta in batches if necessary.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the pepper flakes are sizzling.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat it in the sauce.
  • Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Conclusion:

Aglio olio is a simple but delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is made with just a few ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different types of pasta, cheeses, and vegetables to create your perfect aglio olio recipe.
