DELICIOUS, COMFORTING Garlic Spaghetti & Olive Oil RECIPE – Spaghetti Aglio e Olio – Roasted Garlic, Pasta & Olive Oil

Published on November 23, 2015 by

“No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it’s too light, you don’t get the full flavor and if it’s too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.”

Ingredients:

1 pound dry spaghetti

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 cloves garlic, sliced thin

1/2 cup olive oil (note: I prefer a regular olive oil for this recipe, as opposed to a strongly flavored extra virgin olive oil)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley

1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (highly recommend Parmigiano-Reggiano)

*It’s not traditional, but for extra richness add 1 tablespoon of butter when you toss with the cheese.”
