Fried Garlic Pasta image

This is for garlic lovers! Tiny pieces of garlic are fried in olive oil and served over pasta, then topped with Parmesan cheese. Don't be scared off by the amount of garlic used, it caramelizes and sweetens as it fries in olive oil. It has become a favorite in my family, including my kids.

Time 28m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound angel hair pasta
2 cups olive oil for frying
2 bulbs garlic, peeled and diced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until a piece of garlic dropped into the oil slowly bubbles. Add the garlic, and cook and stir until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside; reserve oil.
  • To serve, place the pasta onto individual serving dishes and sprinkle with fried garlic. Drizzle with a little of the frying oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Reserve remaining garlic-flavored oil for another use.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The garlic flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

The pasta was cooked perfectly and the garlic was nice and crispy. However, I found the sauce to be a bit bland.

This pasta dish is a real winner! The combination of crispy garlic and tender pasta is simply irresistible. I especially loved the addition of red pepper flakes, which gave the dish a nice kick of heat.
