Spaghettini With Oil And Garlic Spaghettini Aglio E Olio 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.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

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.

AGLIO E OLIO - SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
• Add 2 tablespoons salt.
• Add spaghetti.
• Cook for 14 minutes exactly, then drain.
• About half-way through the cooking time for the spaghetti, heat the olive oil in a large frypan over a medium heat.
• Add the garlic, anchovy and chilli - I pound these three ingredients in a mortar and pestle for a minute or so first, but this is not absolutely necessary.
• Cook the garlic, anchovy and chilli mixture in the oil for a couple of minutes until the garlic is soft but not brown.
• Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice, breadcrumbs, salt and half the parsley and stir to combine.
• With the pan still on the heat, add the drained spaghetti and toss with a pair of tongs or two forks to combine thoroughly.
• Serve sprinkled with grated or granulated parmesan cheese and the rest of the parsley.

SPAGHETTINI WITH OIL AND GARLIC (SPAGHETTINI AGLIO E OLIO)

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
• Stir the spaghettini into the boiling water; return to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until tender but still very firm, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add in the garlic and cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, until pale golden, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper.
• Ladle about 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water into the sauce.
• Add the parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt to taste.
• If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
• If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
• Bring the sauce and pasta to a simmer, tossing to coat with sauce.
• Cook until the pasta is coated with the sauce and done, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pot from the heat and toss in the grated cheese.
• Check the seasoning, adding salt and crushed pepper flakes if needed.
• Serve immediately in warm bowls.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

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.
• Stir red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt into the pasta. Pour in olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; stir until combined.
• Serve pasta topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OIL (AGLIO E OLIO)

Steps:

• Pasta and sauce: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat, and add the olive oil, garlic, and dried chiles. Sauté until garlic is very lightly brown, 4-5 minutes. Finish the sauce by turning heat to low and adding the chopped parsley and 8-10 grinds of black pepper. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti: When the water is boiling, add 2 large pinches of salt, then add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 3 minutes less than what the box advises, stirring occasionally so it doesn't clump. Reserve ¾ cup pasta water.
• Assembly: Drain the pasta, then return to the pot. Pour reserved pasta water and sauce into the pot. Cook over low heat, gently tossing the pasta with the sauce for 1-2 minutes to allow it to "marry"-or absorb-the sauce. The pasta should be firm to the bite. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Transfer to a platter or bowl and serve immediately.
