The Great The One And Only Garlic Spaghetti Food

EASY GARLIC SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti noodles according to directions. Drain and return to pot. Can use any pasta - does not have to be spaghetti.
• In a skillet, add olive oil and garlic. Saute garlic over medium heat until it begins to brown, then remove from burner.
• Pour garlic and olive oil over spaghetti and add parmesean cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat spaghetti and serve. I sprinkle more parmesean cheese on top after serving.

GARLIC SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, cook the garlic in the olive oil for 30 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally to keep the garlic from drying out. In a medium saucepan, add the butter and tomatoes, and stir until well blended and the butter is melted. Stir in the garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Allow the flavors to meld for 10 minutes. Toss with the spaghetti and serve garnished with basil and Parmesan.

THE ONE AND ONLY GARLIC SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Boil spaghetti in a pot of boiling water; (don't over cook).
• While spaghetti cooks, prepare sauce (this is a thick paste that you toss over the cooked spaghetti).
• Place the egg garlic, butter, grated Parmesan cheese and dried sweet basil in a blender or food processor and blend together until smooth and well blended.
• (You can do this by hand if the garlic is pressed).
• When spaghetti is cooked and drained, (and hot) place it in a large bowl and add the garlic-cheese paste and chopped parsley and ground black pepper.
• Toss well.
• Place on servining plater (I warm my plates) and pass the red pepper flakes, bacon bits and more Parmesan and black pepper around for each to add.
• You can vary this recipe by adding sauteed onions and mushrooms, stir-fried green peppers or added cream or sauteed shrimp.
• Enjoy, and you will know you added enough garlic if you wake up the next morning tasting it on your breath.

ONE-POT SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the spaghetti, oil, tomato paste, garlic, tomatoes, basil, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a high-sided medium skillet. Add 5 cups water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring the spaghetti frequently to keep it from clumping, until it is al dente and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the Parmesan (the sauce will thicken more), and season with salt if needed. Divide the spaghetti among 4 bowls, and garnish with more Parmesan and torn basil leaves.

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.

THE GREAT, THE ONE AND ONLY, GARLIC SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to directions. While spaghetti is cooking, whirl everything but parsley and pepper together, until smooth and well blended. One can do this by hand, if the garlic is put through a press. When the spaghetti is cooked and drained, place it in a large bowl or pan and spoon over it the garlic - cheese paste. Add parsley, grind pepper over, toss well and serve at once.

PEPPERONCINI (OIL AND GARLIC SPAGHETTI)
