Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino

Living My Best Life

One of the oldest ways to dress pasta was with olive oil and raw garlic….later peppers were added…to create this simple and very classic Italian pasta dish.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring your salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain pasta in a colander, reserving about 4  tablespoons of the pasta water. Do not rinse pasta with water — you want to retain the pasta’s natural starches so that the sauce will stick.

  • In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant.  Remove and discard the garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the reserved pasta water and stir to combine. Place the spaghetti into the pan and mix well for 1 minute.

  • Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

  • SEMPLICE!
