Spaghetti With Truffle Oil Garlic And Rosemary Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH OIL AND GARLIC (AGLIO E OLIO)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente, tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
• While the pasta cooks, combine the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large skillet and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and turns golden, about 8 minutes.
• Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, reserving about a 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved water to the garlic mixture. Mix well. Add the parsley and lemon zest (if using). Adjust seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl or divide amongst 4 to 6 dishes. Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.

SPICY ROSEMARY SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet, cook chopped rosemary and garlic in oil over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low; cook an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add cooked spaghetti to tomato sauce in skillet and toss until combined. Serve immediately. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

SPAGHETTI WITH TRUFFLE OIL, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Saute onion-garlic and rosemary in olive oil. Make sure onion is golden-and garlic is not burnt.
• Boil spaghetti in 3 quarts salted water with a touch of milk in the water, as well as a tablespoon of oil.
• When al dente, drain pasta, toss with onion, garlic and rosemary.
• Add parmesan and toss again.
• Drizzle the truffle oil on top of each individual serving. (Ok, now I'm drooling. Must hide this fact from guests.).
• Garnish with fresh chopped rosemary--just a pinch.
