Easy and so good, if you love garlic then you love this pasta dish! adjust the garlic to taste, I use 4 tablespoons for this recipe, you might want to reduce that a bit. Increase the dried red pepper flakes for more heat! Ingredients:
1 lb spaghetti, pasta (uncooked) |
3 teaspoons salt |
1/2 cup reserved pasta water |
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided |
4 tablespoons fresh minced garlic, divided |
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes |
1/4 cup chopped parsley |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
salt and black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring about 5 quarts of water to a boil with 3 teaspoons salt; add in the spaghetti and cook only until firm-tender; drain but RESERVE 1/2 cup pasta water.
2. Start this when you are boiling the pasta; Heat about 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet.
3. Add in 3 tablespoons garlic and about 1/2 teaspoon salt with black pepper to taste; saute stirring often until the garlic is light brown (about 6-8 minutes) remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, parsley, lemon juice and about 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water; mix to combine.
4. Transfer the drained pasta to a large serving bowl; toss with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining reserved cooking water.
5. Add in the garlic mixture; toss well to combine.
6. Season with more black pepper and salt to taste if desired.
7. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Delicious!
