Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
A classic Italian dish made with simple ingredients: spaghetti, garlic, olive oil, and parsley.
Ingredients
- spaghetti (1 pound)
- olive oil (0.5 cup)
- garlic (6 cloves)
- red pepper flakes (0.25 teaspoon)
- salt (0 )
- black pepper (0 )
- Italian parsley (0.25 cup)
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (1 cup)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- 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 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
- While the pasta is cooking, combine olive oil and garlic 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, salt, and black pepper into pasta.
- Pour in hot olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; toss until combined.
- Serve pasta topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
