Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pound thin spaghetti
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more to your liking)
1/3 cup grated parmesan (more to your liking)
chopped parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt the water well (about 2 tablespoons of kosher salt). Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until just al dante or a little before (mine took about 9 minutes). Before you drain the pasta, make sure to reserve about 1 ½ cups of the pasta cook water.
  • Meanwhile, 4 minutes after you add the pasta to the boiling water, warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, tossing regularly until the garlic is just turning golden brown (manage the heat well so that the garlic does not overcook). Add the red pepper flakes and toss for 30 seconds or so. If the pasta is not ready, move the oil off the heat for now.
  • Carefully ladle the reserved pasta cooking water in the pan. Bring to a simmer until the liquid reduces by about 1/3.
  • Add the cooked pasta and toss around for a couple of minutes. Turn the heat off and add the parmesan and parsley. Toss to combine.
  • Allow the pasta a couple more minutes to rest and absorb the sauce. Serve with more Parmesan and red pepper flakes to the side.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL



Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil image

"No pasta could be easier than spaghetti and olive oil, right? Yet I can't believe how badly this sublime and simple pasta gets made, with not enough oil, undercooked garlic, and the addition of cheese, which I think is sinful. Here's my spaghetti aio e oio," says Scott.

Provided by Scott Conant

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound good quality dried spaghetti
3 garlic cloves, sliced very thinly
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, more to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti. While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

ONE-PAN PASTA WITH GARLIC AND OIL



One-Pan Pasta With Garlic and Oil image

Provided by Harold Mcgee

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, pastas, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound dry or fresh spaghetti, linguini or fettuccine
2 teaspoons salt, or as needed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon piment d'espelette or other crushed red pepper, to taste

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:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Look for one that is fruity and peppery, with a greenish tinge.
  • Use fresh garlic. Avoid pre-minced or jarred garlic, as it will not have the same flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the garlic and chili pepper. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • If you are using dried chili peppers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and release their flavor.
  • Add the spaghetti to the pan with the garlic and chili pepper as soon as it is al dente. This will help the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful pasta dish is a staple of Roman cuisine. It is quick and easy to make, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. The combination of garlic, chili pepper, and olive oil creates a delicious and aromatic sauce that coats the spaghetti perfectly. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual lunch.
