Spaghetti With Oil Garlic And Spices Recipes

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:

• 1. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rapid boil over high heat; then stir in 1 tbsp. salt. Drop in spaghetti and cook, stirring frequently, until tender - but still firm to the bite.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, combine the oil, garlic and anchovies (if using) over low heat and cook until the garlic just begins to take on a hint of color - do not brown the garlic. Remove from heat.
• 3. Drain spaghetti, transfer to the pan holding the garlicky olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Toss well. Sprinkle with parsley and a nice amount of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a brisk boil.
• Add salt.
• Add the spaghetti, following directions on the box.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan.
• Slice the garlic thinly and add it to the oil.
• remove the pan from the heat when the garlic turns a pale golden color (do not brown the garlic).
• Add the parsley, salt and pepper.
• Reserve 1/2-3/4 cup pasta water.
• Drain pasta & stir in the oil.
• Add the water if you think the mixture is too dry.
