Spaghetti With Truffle Oil Garlic And Rosemary Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
• Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.

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:

• Saute onion-garlic and rosemary in olive oil. Make sure onion is golden-and garlic is not burnt.
• Boil spaghetti in 3 quarts salted water with a touch of milk in the water, as well as a tablespoon of oil.
• When al dente, drain pasta, toss with onion, garlic and rosemary.
• Add parmesan and toss again.
• Drizzle the truffle oil on top of each individual serving. (Ok, now I'm drooling. Must hide this fact from guests.).
• Garnish with fresh chopped rosemary--just a pinch.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta as per packet instructions (if dried usually 8 - 11 minutes).
• While the pasta is cooking, get a large frying pan, heat the olive oil, add the garlic and finely chopped rosemary, season with a little salt and pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat until the garlic is slightly golden in colour.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the frying pan, mix the pasta, garlic and rosemary well until all pasta is well coated.
• Add a tablespoon of butter, quick stir again, serve immediately.
