SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
• Combine garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat to slowly toast garlic, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low when olive oil begins to bubble. Cook and stir until garlic is golden brown, about another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt into the pasta. Pour in olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; stir until combined.
• Serve pasta topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

• When the garlic is golden in colour remove from the heat to avoid burning.
• Once the spaghetti is cooked, using the tongs, transfer them in the sauce, adding a bit of the cooking water

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook, stirring after 1 minute, until about three-quarters of the way done.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until just beginning to turn golden brown, then add the parsley. Add a ladle of the pasta water to stop the cooking process and allow the flavors to combine.
• When the pasta is three-quarters of the way cooked, remove it from the water and add it to the saute pan. Add more pasta water as necessary to finish cooking the pasta, letting the liquid reduce as the pasta finishes to form a sauce.
• Season with salt if desired and transfer to a large serving dish. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a saute 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.
