AGLIONE



Aglione image

This herb rub, by way of Biba Caggiano, is used throughout Emilia-Romagna. It's wonderful on roast chicken or pork or tossed with roasted potatoes in their last ten minutes of cooking. It will keep in a tightly covered jar in the fridge for several weeks.

PICI ALL'AGLIONE



Pici All'Aglione image

G: Aglione is a garlic-loaded red sauce-ideally your garlic count is one clove per person. It's wonderful with pici, a traditional hand-rolled spaghetti from Siena, and if you look online you should be able to buy it. But thick spaghetti works just as well.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves garlic, peeled (one per person!)
1 to 2 fresh hot peppers, like red serranos, sliced, or about 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Three 15-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes (San Marzano are best), crushed by hand
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
2 pounds fresh pici pasta

Steps:

  • Bring a large 8 to 12-quart pot of water to a boil. Heat the olive oil, garlic and hot peppers in a large 12 to 14-inch saute pan until the garlic is fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, adding more hot peppers or red pepper flakes to make it spicier, if desired.
  • When the water has come to a boil, add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the fresh pasta and cook for about 3 minutes or according to package instructions if store-bought. Drain the pasta and reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and cook for about 1 minute, adding pasta water as needed to make the sauce slightly loose and glossy. Top with basil and serve immediately.

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.

Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound uncooked spaghetti
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right aglione: Look for firm, plump bulbs with no signs of bruising or sprouting. The cloves should be tightly packed and have a pungent, garlicky aroma.
  • Prepare the aglione properly: Before using, remove the papery skin from the bulb and separate the cloves. If a recipe calls for minced or chopped aglione, use a sharp knife to finely dice the cloves.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking aglione, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent the aglione from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to burn.
  • Use a little bit of fat: A small amount of fat, such as olive oil or butter, will help to prevent the aglione from sticking to the pan and will also help to develop its flavor.
  • Cook the aglione over medium heat: Aglione should be cooked over medium heat to prevent it from burning. Cook the aglione until it is softened and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Add aglione at the right time: The timing of adding aglione to a dish is important. If you add it too early, it may burn. If you add it too late, it may not have time to develop its full flavor. Generally, aglione is added towards the end of the cooking process.
  • Experiment with different varieties of aglione: There are many different varieties of aglione available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Experiment with different varieties to find the ones that you like best.

Conclusion:

Aglione is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Its bold, garlicky flavor can add a lot of depth and complexity to a dish. Whether you are using it in a soup, stew, pasta dish, or salad, aglione is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, reach for aglione. You won't be disappointed.
