How to Make Pasta With Garlic And Oil Pasta Aglio E Olio
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and just begins to turn golden (about 1-2 minutes). Do not brown the garlic.
- Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent burning the garlic.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the skillet with the garlic oil mixture.
- Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra red pepper flakes if desired.
