This pasta recipe is so easy to make. Not a lot of ingredients, and chances are you already have them on hand. Not an expensive recipe to make, so it suits most budget. It’s simplicity let each ingredients shine.
Making this dish is pasta than you can say “Mr Petit, peux-tu me dire quelle heure est-il?”
Let’s get started!
Ingredients needed:
16 oz of spaghetti
1/2 cup of olive oil
6-7 garlic cloves
3-4 tbsp of salt
1/4 tsp of chili powder or 1/2 tsp of pepper flakes
3 tbsp of chopped parsley
Start by cooking the pasta. In a large pot of water, add a good amount of salt. It’s important to add a lot of salt in the pasta water because that is the only place that you will season the pasta. I am using sea salt, as usual. When the water starts to boil, add the pasta and cook it al dente; follow the instructions on the box.
A lot of garlic is also needed for this dish. Slice the garlic really thinly. Don’t chop it, just slice. Don’t worry about the amount of garlic in the recipe, the taste of the garlic will mellow out.
For the parsley, cut off any big stem and keep the leaves. After that chop the leaves really finely, as fine as you can get them to be.
In a large skillet on low heat, add the oil, and add the garlic to the cold oil and let them warm up together. That will allow the flavor of the garlic to infuse in the oil. After a minute, add the chili powder or red pepper flakes, and let the garlic slightly brown.
Once the garlic starts to brown, the pasta should be cooked and drained by then. Reserve the pasta water. When the garlic is browning, pour in 1 cup of the pasta water and mix it in. And then, add the garlic sauce to the pasta, and mix it in. Once all the spaghetti is coated in the garlic sauce, add the parsley and mix it in as well.
Serve warm
This dish is so simple that I thought I left some ingredients out when I first made it.
Enjoy
