Pasta with garlic and oil is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make yet bursting with flavor. Originating from the region of Campania, this dish is known as "aglio e olio" in Italian, meaning "garlic and oil." The secret to a great pasta aglio e olio lies in using high-quality ingredients and cooking the garlic and chili flakes in olive oil until fragrant, without burning them. This dish can be made with various types of pasta, but spaghetti, linguine, and bucatini are commonly used. The addition of fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or oregano adds a vibrant touch of flavor. Some variations of this dish include adding sautéed vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes, or incorporating seafood like shrimp or clams. Whether you prefer a classic aglio e olio or a more elaborate version with additional ingredients, this versatile dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Steps:
- Add the dried spaghetti to a large skillet, and cover the noodles fully with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt to the water. Cook over medium heat until the water begins to boil. Continue to boil for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are pliable but still al dente (slightly underdone). Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
- When the pasta is done cooking, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, shallow pot that's large enough to hold the cooked spaghetti noodles. Add the sliced garlic, and cook for 2 minutes or until it is just starting to turn golden brown around the edges. If using the red pepper flakes, add them at this time and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Carefully add the reserved pasta cooking water to the garlic and olive oil mixture and bring to a boil. And I do mean carefully -- it will spatter. Reduce the heat to a simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add the drained pasta to the olive oil pasta sauce and toss to coat. Remove from the heat, and season with additional salt (if necessary) and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss the pasta with the minced fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan, as desired. Serve warm with an extra drizzle of olive oil and additional grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

PASTA WITH GARLIC OIL
My family is Italian, and this is one of our old faves with plenty of garlic, mushrooms and herbs. To help the sauce adhere, don't rinse the pasta in water after you drain it. -Pamela Vittori, Chicago Heights, Illinois

Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, combine 1 tablespoon oil and the garlic. Place over medium heat and sauté garlic until golden. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a plate and set aside.
- Set aside a colander placed over a bowl. Place pasta in unwashed skillet (if pasta is very long it may not lie flat on bottom until it begins to soften). Add 2 teaspoons salt and 8 cups cold water.
- Place over high heat and cook uncovered, stirring frequently to keep pasta submerged, until pasta is almost al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on pasta. Tilt pan and spoon off as much liquid as possible into a bowl, so that very little is left in pan. Add remaining 1/4 cup oil, reserved garlic, parsley and red pepper. Return just enough cooking liquid to pasta, tossing them together, to make a creamy sauce. Adjust salt as needed. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and peppery.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more intense flavor than dried garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
- Don't burn the garlic: Garlic burns easily, so be careful not to cook it over high heat. Cook the garlic over medium-low heat until it is fragrant and golden brown.
- Add the pasta water to the sauce: The pasta water is starchy and will help to thicken the sauce. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta and add it to the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of chopped fresh parsley.
Conclusion:
Pasta with garlic and oil is a simple but delicious dish that can be made in just a few minutes. It is a great way to use up leftover pasta and it is also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a pasta with garlic and oil that is flavorful and satisfying.
