LINGUINE WITH ANCHOVY HOT PEPPERS

• Drain pasta, saving about 1/2 cup of the water. Add pasta back into pot. Place over medium heat. Add garlic mixture and the reserved water. Mix well over heat for 1 minute. Remove and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper, to taste.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC AND OIL

Steps:

• Cook Linguine following the package directions.
• Saute sliced garlic cloves (Adding more garlic if you like)in olive oil, over medium heat until golden brown, remove garlic, and set aside.
• Add dry pepper flakes cook for an additional minute.
• Add parsley and salt, cook 1 more minute.
• Add cooked linguine, toss in garlic, arrange on heated serving platter, and sprinkle with black pepper.
• Serve with grated cheese and a nice loaf of Crusty Italian bread.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC AND OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, oil, and a pinch of salt in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the garlic to simmer, shaking the pan occasionally, until it turns golden; do not allow it to turn dark brown.
• When the water boils, cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. When it is done, drain it, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Reheat the garlic and oil mixture briefly if necessary. Dress the pasta with the sauce and parsley, if using, adding a little more oil or some of the cooking water if it seems dry.
• Variations
• If you have a moderately well-stocked pantry-for example, if you have some olives, capers, chickpeas, dried chiles, canned tomatoes, and so on-you can make any of these delicious variations in less than a half hour.
• Add a couple of dried chiles to the oil along with the garlic. Discard before tossing with the pasta. Alternatively, sprinkle the pasta with hot red pepper flakes or pass some at the table.
• Add 1 cup cooked, drained chickpeas to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add 1 to 2 tablespoons capers to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup minced pitted black olives (preferably imported) to the garlic-oil mixture about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
• Add a mixture of about 1 cup fresh herbs to the pasta when tossing it with the garlic-oil mixture. You probably will need more olive oil or some of the pasta-cooking water.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC, OIL, AND HOT PEPPER

Steps:

• 1 Pour the oil into a skillet large enough to hold the cooked pasta. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the garlic is a deep gold, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and turn off the heat. 2 Bring at least 4 quarts of cold water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta, pushing it down until the pasta is completely covered with water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite. Set aside some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. 3 Cook over medium heat, tossing until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Add a little of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Serve immediately. VARIATIONS: Add chopped black or green olives, capers, or anchovies along with the garlic. Serve sprinkled with bread crumbs toasted in olive oil or grated cheese. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
