How to Make Agliolio Sauce For Pasta

  1. Mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Stir and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc) and 1/4 cup clam nectar. Bring to a rolling boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  7. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. (Optional: Add cooked shrimp or crab during the last minute of cooking).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
