Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti.
• While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
• When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook, stirring after 1 minute, until about three-quarters of the way done.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until just beginning to turn golden brown, then add the parsley. Add a ladle of the pasta water to stop the cooking process and allow the flavors to combine.
• When the pasta is three-quarters of the way cooked, remove it from the water and add it to the saute pan. Add more pasta water as necessary to finish cooking the pasta, letting the liquid reduce as the pasta finishes to form a sauce.
• Season with salt if desired and transfer to a large serving dish. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• Boil water for pasta.
• Meanwhile, saute' garlic, oil, & garlic powder in saucepan over low-medium heat (must not burn the garlic or it is ruined as the taste goes bad & you have to start from scratch).
• Set aside 4-5 anchovies and cut them into small pieces, reserve those for last step.
• Take remaining anchovies in can & add them to garlic & oil saute' and break them into pieces as you stir them into pan. Stir frequently. Add dash of salt to taste.
• Cook pasta as directed. Drain. Put into large pasta bowl. Add oil/garlic/anchovy mix as well as reserved anchovy pieces. Toss together & serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente (about 7 minutes?).
• While pasta cooks, toss shrimp with lemon juice, parsley, pepper flakes, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
• Heat large skillet over medium hight heat, add shrimp, oil and spices and cook about 3 minutes or until its pink and slightly firm.
• Remove shrimp from pan and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
• At this point, you may pull out the whole, crushed cloves.
• I usually leave them.
• Lower heat to medium low and add the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
• Next, add anchovies, garlic and red pepper to oil.
• Be sure to break up the anchovies in the pan until they melt into the oil and garlic.
• Drain pasta and toss it in large bowl with garlic and olive oil mixture.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley, and top with the shrimp.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Add the salt to the water and bring to a boil.
• While the water is boiling slice the garlic thin and add to a large skillet, add the oil.
• When the water is boiling add the spaghetti to the water and cook 1 to 1.5 minutes less then recommended package instructions.
• While the pasta is cooking bring the skillet to medium heat and sweat the garlic; moving the contents around gently. Do not burn the garlic, heat management is key. About 2 minute before the spaghetti is ready add the red pepper to the skillet and continue moving the garlic and peppers.
• About 1 minute before the pasta is done remove 1/4 Cup of pasta water (a ladle works well). Add the starchy water to the oil carefully and mix with spatula or wooded spoon.
• When the pasta is done cooking remove and reserve 3/4 cup of pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the oil. Mix well while cooking for a additional 1-2 minutes, Slowly adding the pasta water a little at a time until the pasta creamy and emulsified. ***not all the pasta water may be used, use discretion.***.
• Remove from the heat and plate 1/5 the pasta on a plate. Top with 1/5 the parmesan cheese and parsley. (Parsley is traditional, but i like the basil better).

Steps:

• If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 2. If using store-bought shallots, toast them in a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
• Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and roughly mince. Set aside. Add a couple of inches of water and a large pinch of salt to the skillet, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente (about a minute less than the package directions).
• Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup oil, the minced garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt in a large saucepan or skillet. Heat, stirring frequently, over medium-low until the garlic is very aromatic and just starting to turn pale gold in parts, about 5 minutes. It should maintain a very gentle sizzle the whole time it is cooking (adjust heat as necessary). When the garlic is done, shut off the heat, then, using a ladle or spoon, add a large splash of the pasta water to the pan with oil to halt the cooking. Add half the toasted shallots and stir.
• When the pasta is just shy of al dente, using tongs, transfer it to the pan with the garlic oil, allowing any liquid that clings to it to come along; reserve a bit of the pasta water. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Return the pan with the pasta and garlic oil to high heat, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until a creamy, emulsified sauce coats the pasta. (If the sauce looks watery, continue tossing and cooking. If it looks broken and oily, add some more pasta water a few tablespoons at a time and continue cooking until it emulsifies.) Stir in the parsley and chives (if using), season to taste with more salt (it can take quite a bit of salt), transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved toasted fried shallots and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for about 10 mins, or until al dente - it should retain a little bite.
• When the pasta is nearly ready, heat the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat and sizzle the garlic and chilli, if using, for 1 minute until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden but not brown (the garlic will taste bitter if it gets too dark).
• Drain the spaghetti and add it to the garlicky oil with the parsley. Season and toss to combine, then serve.
