So, for you. Yeah. For you, the one that asking me for the recipe. This is the recipe.
Spaghetti Aglio Olio
Serves four
|
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta al dente and drain,
saving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. While the pasta is cooking, gently warm the olive oil in a large sauté pan, add the garlic either slivered or minced and heat just until the garlic turns golden. If you are using the red pepper flakes, add them here. Remove garlic or not according to your taste. Set oil aside until pasta is drained. Place oil back on medium low flame and toss pasta, in the sauté pan, with salt until well coated. If the pasta seems dry add dribbles of the pasta water. Add herbs and just heat through. Serve immediately with a good grind of black pepper, and pass the grated cheese at table. I also like to have a cruet of olive oil on the table so diners may add a drizzle if they wish.
********************************
My dear, the one that I usually cook is:
1. I don't remove the garlic as the recipe suggested "Remove garlic or not
according to your taste."
2. pasta al dente means pasta that have been cooked so as to be firm but
not hard.
3. Why must "Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil." ? Because to avoid
the spaghetti stick to the surface of the pan itself. Or, you can boil with just 2 drops of oil + water instead of preparing the salted water.
4. Before this, I never serve this with cheese because my dad doesn't prefer
cheese to put inside. So, that's why we serve it with hash brown. However, if you like cheese, have a try! Serve immediately with a good grind of black pepper, and pass the grated cheese at table
5. Forget to mention, the prep time takes 5 mins only and the cooking time is
about 15-20 mins - depends on the chef's skill! =p - So, that's why it is also known as express spaghetti !
So, the recipe and the tips already given, do cook it! Then, let me have a try! =)
That's all. Have a nice day!
P/s: Look forward for me to cook? Wait ya! ^_^
