Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 pound dried spaghetti, such as DeCecco
1/3 cup good olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
  • Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.

SPAGHETTI ALLE OLIVE E POMODORO (SPAGHETTI WITH OLIVES AND TOMATOES)



Spaghetti alle Olive e Pomodoro (Spaghetti with Olives and Tomatoes) image

When fresh tomatoes are abundant in the summer and fall, I will use them. Because this is a primary sauce, I use canned tomatoes when fresh are no longer available. You may omit the red pepper for milder flavor or substitute Kalamata olives for the c

Spaghetti al Pomodoro from the Chefs at Eataly image

Recipe Adapted From: 'How to Eataly: A Guide to Cooking, Buying, and Eating Italian Food' by Oscar Farinetti

Provided by Eataly

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (14 ounce) can Mutti whole peeled tomatoes, in their juices
Fine sea salt to taste
3-4 sprigs fresh basil
Coarse sea salt for pasta cooking water
1 pound dried spaghetti

Steps:

  • Instructions
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Crush the garlic cloves with the heel of your hand. Add the crushed cloves to the oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Once the garlic is golden, add the red pepper flakes, if using, and then immediately add the tomatoes, crushing them between your fingers and letting them fall into the saucepan. Add the tomato juices from the can as well. Season with salt to taste.
  • Simmer the tomato sauce over low heat until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the basil springs to the sauce and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of the water to a boil for cooking the pasta. When the water is boiling, salt the water as salty as the sea, and add the spaghetti, and cook, stirring frequently with a long-handled fork, until al dente. Drain in a colander. If the tomatoes sauce has cooled completely, heat it gently.
  • Remove the basil springs from the tomato sauce and discard. Transfer the spaghetti from the colander to the pan. Toss over medium heat to combine with sauce. Add a drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately.

PASTA AL POMODORO



Pasta al Pomodoro image

Pomodoro, the Italian word for tomato, comes from pomo d'oro ("golden apple"), and also refers to this sauce. A good pomodoro leans into the inherently savory, umami-rich flavor of the tomatoes, so use the best ones you can find. Any combination of low-water, high-flavor tomatoes like plum, grape, cherry and Campari, cooked down to their purest essence, makes for the most vibrant result. Thin spaghetti works best here, as its airy bounciness catches the pulpy tomato sauce beautifully, but regular spaghetti would taste great, too. Add basil at the end, if you'd like, or a dusting of cheese, but a stalwart pasta al pomodoro made with peak-season tomatoes needs neither.

Categories     dinner, lunch, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, lightly crushed and peeled
3 pounds ripe tomatoes (any mix of plum, grape, cherry and Campari), coarsely chopped
Salt
1 pound thin spaghetti

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil and garlic to a large Dutch oven or high-sided skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden, and small rapid bubbles form around the cloves, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pot and discard (or eat).
  • Carefully and gently lower the chopped tomatoes into the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomatoes let off some liquid and the sauce starts to bubble steadily. Season generously with salt. Lower the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce reduces significantly, about 40 minutes.
  • Set a metal sieve, strainer or food mill over a medium bowl. Carefully pour in the tomato sauce. If using a sieve or strainer, push the sauce through with a spoon or flexible spatula, until all that remains are seeds and skins. Be sure to repeatedly scrape off the valuable pulp collecting on the bottom of the sieve (by holding the sieve down against the edge of the bowl and pulling it back). You should have about 2 cups of sauce in the bowl. Taste and add more salt, if needed, then return the sauce to the Dutch oven.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.
  • Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reduces slightly and the pasta is well coated but not drowned in the sauce, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit so the pasta can absorb the sauce further, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

BETTER THAN OLIVE GARDEN PASTA POMODORO



Better Than Olive Garden Pasta Pomodoro image

I have always loved Olive Garden's Pomodoro. This is what I came up with when I experimented at home. This does not heat up your kitchen and is a light supper dish for those hot summer evenings. If you like spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Just don't use anything but the freshest ingredients--you'll end up with something that tastes pasty/chemical/bitter/etc.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio image

No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound uncooked spaghetti
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
  • Combine garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat to slowly toast garlic, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low when olive oil begins to bubble. Cook and stir until garlic is golden brown, about another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
