Best Spaghettini With Garlic Red Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes
SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND RED PEPPER FLAKES
Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. The reserved pasta water will help create the sauce. Do not rinse pasta with water -- you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It's important not to burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the pasta and toss to coat in the flavored oil. Add the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, to create a sauce, 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat and top with the fresh herbs.
SPAGHETTINI WITH GARLIC, RED PEPPER & EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Since we can't all pack up and move to the pasta capital of the world, why not bring Italian flavour and quality to your dinner table by cooking with authentic, fresh ingredients? Traditional Italians embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle, which emphasizes the consumption of grains such as pasta and bread; vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, fish, and lean meats. As well, when it comes to mealtime, Italians make it a family affair, using it as an opportunity to spend time with loved ones. "For Italians, gathering with friends and family over a meal is just as important as the food, so the cuisine doesn't have to be fancy," says Lorenzo Boni, the executive chef for Barilla North America. "Often the best meals come from a spontaneous get-together, where the cook makes a large pot of spaghetti pasta and throws in whatever ingredients are in the pantry (referred to as a spaghetatta)."
