Scarlett's pasta or Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (spaghetti with oil and garlic)

Continuing with the Italian theme here is another simple and quick pasta dish, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2-3 servings

4-5 cups

water (to cook pasta)

1 tablespoon

salt

250 g

pasta Spaghetti

1/2 cup

extra virgin olive oil

100 g

soft unsalted butter

5-6 cloves

garlic, finely sliced

1 tablespoon

chilli flakes

To taste

salt and pepper

3-4 tablespoons

pasta water (to loosen the pasta)

lemon, sliced in half

1/2 bag

fresh parsley, roughly chopped (use more or less depending on preference)

2 tablespoons

parmesan cheese, grated (add more or less depending on preference)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a stockpot add water and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling season water with salt. Add pasta to the pot and cook pasta, until al dente or according to the instructions on the packet (8-10 minutes).

* Step 2

In a large pan or wok on medium to low heat, add olive oil and the butter. Let the butter fully melt, and then add the thinly sliced garlic and stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning. Gently cook off the garlic until it is lightly golden brown on the edges, then add in the chilli flakes, season with salt and pepper and stir.

* Step 3

Once the pasta has cooked, turn off the heat. Drain and add the spaghetti directly to the pan (add reserved pasta water if needed). Add garlic oil, mix and toss spaghetti until it is thoroughly coated. Remove pan from heat. Squeeze half a lemon and mix well together.

* Step 4

Add the fresh parsley and a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese. Mix well together. Squeeze in the remaining half a lemon and stir. Taste and season if needed (add more pepper or salt depending on preference). Stir and mix thoroughly together.
