Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 quarts water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
16 ounces dried spaghetti noodles
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 cloves of garlic, minced fine
Capers
Sun dried tomatoes
Red pepper
Olives
Walnuts
Hard cheeses like Asiago and Parmesan
Soft or veined cheeses like gorgonzola or chevre
Canned Artichokes
Smoked oysters
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Place water in large lidded pot, add salt and bring to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti, fanning it into the water so that each strand makes contact. Using a wooden spoon or tongs, gently bend noodles to submerge. Cover pot and return to a rolling boil, reducing heat to medium-high. Stir occasionally.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil into the bottom of a wide serving bowl along with garlic.
  • In 4 minutes, start tasting. When done, a string of spaghetti should be springy when pulled on. To the tooth, there should be some resistance but not so much that the pasta sticks in the teeth. As soon as pasta is done, drain immediately in a large colander (lidded models are the best). Shake pasta to stop cooking but don't shake dry. And no rinsing!
  • Add pasta to serving bowl and toss to coat. Quickly divide into individual bowls and toss

This pasta dish was a great way to use up leftover chicken. The sauce was very flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This pasta dish was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor. I would also recommend using a different type of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.

This pasta dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.

I'm a vegetarian so I made this pasta dish without the chicken. It was still very flavorful and satisfying. I will definitely be making this again.

I found this pasta dish to be too rich. The sauce was very heavy and creamy. I think I would have liked it better if it had been made with a lighter sauce.
