Ina Garten’s 5-Star Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

If you’re looking for a recipe for pasta night, I recommend this classic aglio olio from Food Network on YouTube. This is perfect, especially if it’s a busy weeknight and you need an easy dish to bring to the table quickly. I just love how simple aglio olio pasta is. It doesn’t need a lot of ingredients, and you can literally pull this off even at midnight because you already have all the ingredients in your kitchen. I also love this because it’s flavorful even with those few ingredients – totally a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb dried spaghetti
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 8 large garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup of pasta water
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Directions:

Step 1

To start, cook your pasta al dente, then set it aside. Next, slice the large garlic cloves into thin slivers. After this, heat 1/3 cup of olive oil in a large pan, then add the thinly sliced garlic. Saute for about two minutes, just until it starts to have color. Next, add 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Season with 1 tsp of salt, then let it cook for five minutes.

Step 2

Now, add the cooked pasta right into the pan. Toss and let it cook for a few minutes, letting the pasta absorb the liquid. Lastly, add 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley and 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese. Toss it all together, then serve.
