Spaghettini With Roasted Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350*F. Place the garlic on an oiled baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to boil and cook the pasta until done, about 10 minutes(or less if you prefer al dente).
• Slice off the top third of the head of garlic with a knife. Hold the garlic over a bowl and dig out the "meat" of the garlic with the point of the knife so it fall into the bowl. Pour in the oil and add plenty of black pepper. Mix well.
• Drain the pasta and return it to the clean pan. Pour in the oil and garlic mix, and toss the pasta until all strands of the spaghettini are thoroughly coated, topped with Parmesan. Serve immediately. Serve shavings of Parmesan in a bowl separately, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. The reserved pasta water will help create the sauce. Do not rinse pasta with water -- you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It's important not to burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the pasta and toss to coat in the flavored oil. Add the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, to create a sauce, 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and top with the fresh herbs.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet over low heat, cook garlic in oil until lightly browned. Remove from the heat; stir in parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain spaghetti; place in a large bowl. Add garlic mixture and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat.
