Classic Italian Aglio e Olio: garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, tossed with spaghetti.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound uncooked spaghetti
  • 0.5 cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions:
  • 1. Boil a generous amount of lightly salted water in a large pot. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until it's al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
  • As the pasta cooks, mix olive oil and garlic in a cold skillet. Slowly toast the garlic over medium heat for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat to medium-low once the olive oil starts to bubble. Continue cooking and stirring until the garlic turns golden brown, approximately 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper with the pasta. Drizzle in hot olive oil and garlic, then sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; toss until well mixed.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese generously over the pasta before serving.
