Spaghetti Aglio E Olio
Ingredients
- 300 g Spaghetti
- 80 ml High Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 6 Garlic Cloves Sliced
- 10 g Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
- 3 g Dried Chilli Flakes
- 250 ml Reserved Pasta Water
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
Method
- Bring a medium to large saucepan, half filled with water, to a boil. Add a big pinch of sea salt flakes and the spaghetti, and cook for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is still cold, pour in the olive oil and add the garlic. Stir continuously until the garlic just starts to sizzle, then reduce the heat to low and sauté for 1-1 ½ minutes, just until the garlic shows the slightest hint of colour.
- Add ½ cup (125ml) of the pasta water to stop the garlic from browning further and to form an emulsion. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, transfer it directly from the pot into the pan, bringing a little more of the pasta water along with it. Cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
- With the pan still on the stovetop but off the heat, add the dried chilli flakes and parsley, and season with sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly, serve, and dig in.
