Spicy Spaghetti With Garlic And Olive Oil Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH OIL AND GARLIC (AGLIO E OLIO)

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.

SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Set a large covered pot of water over high heat to boil.
• When it reaches a rolling boil, salt the water and add the spaghetti, giving a few stirs to keep the pasta from clumping together.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet , heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the breadcrumbs if using (if you are not including the breadcrumbs, skip to the next step). Toast the crumbs in the oil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and continue cooking until it is just fragrant and lightly colored, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook the garlic or it will become bitter.
• Add the red chile pepper (dried or fresh) and chopped parsley, if using. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• When your pasta is al dente , drain it, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water.
• Add the spaghetti to the skillet and toss until evenly coated. Add a little bit of the pasta cooking water as needed if the mixture is too dry. Serve and enjoy.

SPICY SHRIMP AND SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO (GARLIC AND OIL)

Steps:

• Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
• Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
• Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
• Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
• Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
• The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
• Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti. While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
• When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.
