Aglio Olio is one of my favourite pastas - it really allows the taste of the pasta to shine through. But I noticed that most Aglio Olio recipes here are quite high in fat or carbs. So I'm posting my own, healthier version. Ingredients:
1 cup pasta, cooked (linguine is best) |
5 tablespoons reserved pasta water, with salt |
15 garlic cloves |
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered |
1 large red chile, deseeded and quartered |
1 tablespoon parsley |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt, to taste |
1 tablespoon grated cheese (optional) |
1 tablespoon tabasco sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. Toss your garlic, onion, chili, parsley, lemon juice and black peppercorns in a food processor and pulse until everything is chopped up.
2. Add olive oil into a heated wok. Add your garlic mixture and stir until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant.
3. Add pasta and mix thoroughly.
4. Add your reserved pasta water and mix thoroughly.
5. Add salt, to taste. Mix thoroughly.
6. Serve with grated cheese and a lashing of Tabasco sauce, if desired.
