Pasta Aglio e Olio Recipe

Italian · Main course · 20 min total

A classic Italian pasta dish that's simple yet packed with flavor, featuring garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

• 1 pound spaghetti
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
3. Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time, tossing, until the sauce coats the pasta. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in parsley and Parmesan. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
• To make it spicier, add more red pepper flakes to taste.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of olive oil.
