SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO (GARLIC SPAGHETTI)



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (Garlic Spaghetti) image

Try this easy recipe for Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, which is Italian for spaghetti with garlic and oil.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Entree     Pasta

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried spaghetti
8-10 garlic cloves
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup parsley (fresh)
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Boil a large pot of water. Add salt when it has boiled and add the pasta. Once the pasta has cooked to al dente (look at the package instructions), reserve a cup of the pasta water for the sauce and drain.
  • Slice the garlic into thin slivers (as thin as you can).
  • Mince the parsley.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pot (the same one you cooked the pasta in, if you wish) and cook on medium heat. Add half of the garlic and saute until just fragrant. Then add in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Cook for another minute. Just be careful not to overcook or over toast the garlic. This can lessen the garlic flavor and can make the garlic taste bitter.
  • Add half a cup of the reserved pasta water, the pasta and the remaining garlic. Toss and cook for another 2 minutes or until it is all heated through. Add in more pasta water if needed.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and more salt to taste. Serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC



Spaghetti with Garlic image

Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Quick & Easy     Parmesan     Lemon     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 1 1/2 large heads garlic, separated into cloves (about 30)
5 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 lb spaghetti
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Accompaniment: finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Peel garlic without crushing cloves and thinly slice lengthwise as evenly as possible (you should have about 1 cup; peel and slice more if necessary). Cook garlic in 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until just golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to a bowl. (Garlic will crisp as it cools.) Add hot pepper flakes to skillet and cook, stirring, 1 minute, then remove skillet from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain spaghetti in a colander. Stir zest and salt into oil in skillet, then add spaghetti, parsley, and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water. Toss over moderately high heat until combined well, 30 seconds to 1 minute, adding enough reserved cooking water to keep spaghetti moist. Add half of garlic and toss. Remove from heat and toss pasta with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with remaining garlic.

GARLIC SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Garlic Spaghetti Sauce image

I adopted this recipe from Zaar some time ago and finally got round to trying it myself. It's quick and simple and full of fresh flavours. I prefer using basil but the original recipe stated parsley so I left it here for you to choose. Try adding some sliced black olives, fried or marinated mushrooms or sun blush tomatoes at the end.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup garlic (minced)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped basil or 1/2 cup parsley
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • To make spaghetti sauce, cook garlic in butter and olive oil over medium low heat just until the garlic is soft but not browned.
  • Stir in the parsley or basil and cook for 2 minutes (stirring constantly) until the herbs are limp but still green.
  • Pour sauce hot over cooked spaghetti, toss lightly to coat and top with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your spaghetti with garlic shine. Look for high-quality olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the spaghetti, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal cooking stage for pasta, when it is still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Don't rinse the pasta after cooking. Rinsing the pasta after cooking will remove the starch, which is essential for creating a creamy sauce.
  • Use a generous amount of olive oil. Olive oil is essential for creating a flavorful sauce. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Cook the garlic slowly. Cooking the garlic slowly over low heat will help to bring out its flavor without burning it.
  • Add the spaghetti to the sauce. Once the sauce is ready, add the spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Before serving, garnish the spaghetti with Parmesan cheese and parsley. This will add a touch of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with garlic is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. If you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, spaghetti with garlic is a great option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
