Pasta

Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add salt to the water to season it.

  2. 2

    Cook Capellini

    Once the water is boiling, add the capellini pasta. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-4 minutes until al dente.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta cooking water.

Garlic Oil Preparation

  1. 4

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm up, but do not let it smoke.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

  3. 6

    Add Red Pepper Flakes

    Stir in the red pepper flakes for an added kick, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.

Combine and Serve

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Garlic Oil

    Add the drained capellini into the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly. If the mixture seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and toss in the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan if desired.
