Pasta Aglio Olio Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Spaghetti

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

2. 2

   Prepare the Garlic

   While the pasta is cooking, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

3. 3

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is golden brown but not burnt, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to coat. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Finely chop the parsley and add it to the pasta along with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
