How to Make Aglio E Olio Pasta Garlic And Oil

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 6-8 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant and softened (about 2 minutes), being careful not to brown the garlic.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and incorporated.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes, halved, and 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms. Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Cook until the mushrooms and tomatoes are tender but still hold their shape (about 3-5 minutes). Do not let the sauce boil or brown.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic oil sauce. Add a little pasta water at a time if needed to create a creamy consistency.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup per serving) and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).
  8. Enjoy your amazing Aglio e Olio!
