Aglio E Olio With Peas And Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Fill large stock pot 2/3 full with cold water, add salt to taste and about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and bring to a boil.
• When water boils add pasta.
• While water is heating, combine half of the olive oil, 2/3 of the garlic and salt in a large skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until garlic browns.
• Remove from heat and add remaining garlic, red pepper, lemon juice and 2 or 3 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and stir.
• When pasta is cooked al dente, reserve 2 tablespoons of cooking water and drain.
• Transfer pasta and garlic mixture to a large bowl and toss to combine.
• Transfer pasta and garlic mixture back to skillet, add salt, reserved cooking water and remaining olive oil and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, tossing and stirring constantly.
• Transfer back to large bowl and serve.
• Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.

Steps:

• Put a pot of salted water on to boil. Remove the stems of the peperoncini, halve them lengthwise, then slice them into 1/4-inch lengths. Put the oil, garlic and peperoncini in a large deep pan set over medium-high heat, and cook until the garlic is translucent and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the parsley to the pan, and turn off the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta until it is aldente, nearly but not quite done and still a bit chalky in the middle. Drain, and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• When the oil has cooled for a couple of minutes, add 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and reduce over high heat by about half. Add the pasta, and stir vigorously as it continues to cook. Add the reserved pasta water a bit at a time as necessary to finish cooking the pasta, and develop the thickened sauce. Season with salt, and serve.

Steps:

• Heavily salt a large pot of water, and bring to a boil then cook pasta to al dente.
• While the pasta is cooking, slice the garlic cloves thinly, and set aside. Pick the parsley leaves from their stems, and finely chop. Add olive oil to a large frying pan and heat over medium flame until nice and hot and shimmering. Add sliced garlic, stirring constantly, until garlic is barely toasted. Add the red pepper flake and remove from heat. (the garlic will continue cooking to a toasty brown).
• Drain the pasta and add to the pan with about 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water. Add lemon juice and parsley, and toss to combine.
• Season for salt and pepper, and serve.
• **EXTRA** - A fancy way to plate is with a carving fork, or anything close to it. From the pan spin the fork or tool to build up a nice amount of pasta on it, and then simply place it on a dish and slide the pasta down and off the fork for a nice and fancy display. (Garnish with parsley & Parmesan cheese for extra points).
