I adapted this recipe from The Chef Show. Its a simple six ingredient pasta that is easy to make, but somewhat difficult to make extremely well.
(Pasta with Garlic and Oil)
Ingredients
- Package of spaghetti or fettuccine
- 10-12 cloves of garlic cut as thin as possible
- 1 bunch of parsley finely chopped
- 1 T of dried red chili flakes
- 2 T butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Parmesan optional
Instructions
- Boil pasta, cooking until al dente. Reserve a cup or so of pasta water before draining.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic. Adjust heat if garlic browns too quickly.
- Add chili flakes. Then parsley.
- Stir quickly and add pasta.
- Mix and add butter.
- If the pasta has absorbed most or all of the oil, add a small amount of pasta water.
