Follow @kalejunkie for more! SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO (Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil) for Episode 2 of my mini Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home Series. This dish reminds me of my childhood—my dad would order this as a side dish every single time we went out for Italian food and he was always so picky about it—making sure it was perfect. So here is my take on it, dad approved! Whether an italian nonna would approve, I don’t know! But I love this and that’s what I’m sharing today :)⁣
⁣
16 oz spaghetti of choice (you can use gluten-free) ⁣
1/2 cup olive oil (I used @getgraza)⁣
12 cloves garlic, sliced very thin⁣
1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes⁣
1/2 cup reserved pasta water⁣
⁣
Top with:⁣
1/2-3/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese⁣
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped⁣
⁣
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until 1 minute before al dente (so basically 1-2 minutes less than what it says on the package). While the pasta is cooking, get out another pan. Heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, being VERY careful so that the garlic does not burn. You can reduce the heat to low as needed and lift the pan from the heat as needed. Once pasta has cooked, use tongs to transfer to the pan with the garlic and olive oil. Add the reserved pasta water and toss to coat well, until a nice coating has formed. Stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. Taste and add salt as needed. ENJOY!⁣
