MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE



Midnight Pasta With Roasted Garlic, Olive Oil and Chile image

This recipe is a version of aglio e olio pasta, which is often known as midnight pasta because it can be made quickly with a few pantry staples: garlic, olive oil, red-pepper flakes and pasta. This recipe takes a bit more time because it calls for roasting the garlic first, but doing so adds a complex, mellow flavor to the entire dish. If you're a planner, you could even roast a couple of heads of garlic in advance. (Roasted garlic will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for up to two months.) Add whatever vegetables or proteins look good to you.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head of garlic
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup firmly packed parsley leaves
1 pound spaghetti or other long pasta
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
Black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves, then place on a piece of foil, cut-side up. Sprinkle exposed cloves with salt, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast until soft and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • When you're ready to make the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, in a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the oil and cook, breaking them up with your spoon, until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few generous grinds of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat to infuse the oil while the pasta finishes cooking.
  • When the pasta's done, heat the garlic oil over medium, then add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and the parsley, and simmer, tossing constantly and adding more pasta water as needed, until the pasta is glossed with sauce.
  • Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper and Parmesan.

PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, PANCETTA AND ARUGULA



Pasta With Roasted Garlic, Pancetta and Arugula image

For this pasta, garlic is roasted in the oven to bring out its sweetness, then sautéed with bold flavors: salty pancetta, fiery chile flakes and a squeeze of lemon. Chopped peppery arugula and a pound of penne round out the dish. It takes 40 minutes to an hour to roast the garlic, but you can do it a day in advance, and it is worth it for the final, honeyed results.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 fat bulbs green garlic or 4 heads regular garlic
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound penne rigate
1/2 pound pancetta, chopped
1 large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
2 large bunches arugula, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Trim hairy root and green stem from green garlic, or trim 1/4-inch off top of regular garlic, making sure to expose all cloves.
  • Place garlic in a small, shallow baking dish, root side down, and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Cover dish with foil. Roast until cloves or bulbs are golden brown, about 40 minutes to 1 hour (green garlic will cook faster than regular garlic). If bottom of dish starts to burn before garlic is roasted, add one tablespoon water. Transfer to a rack to cool. Garlic can be roasted up to one day ahead; wrap well and store in refrigerator.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  • While pasta cooks, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add pancetta and red pepper flakes. Sauté until pancetta is golden and crisp around edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Peel outside layer of green garlic, or if using regular garlic, squeeze cloves from their papery skins. Chop roasted garlic, and add to skillet with lemon juice and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add drained pasta and arugula to skillet, place over low heat, and toss until arugula wilts. Add just enough cooking water to scrape up brown bits in pan (do this 1 tablespoon at a time). Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Roast the garlic first. Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. You can roast a whole head of garlic at once and store the roasted cloves in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing. This will make them soggy and bland.
  • Season the sauce to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Pasta with Roasted Garlic Sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The roasted garlic gives the sauce a rich, flavorful taste that is perfectly complemented by the sautéed vegetables. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover roasted garlic. So next time you have a head of garlic that's about to go bad, try making this delicious pasta dish. You won't be disappointed!
