INGREDIENTS

 

  • 4 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 1 tea spoon chilli flakes
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 1 handful flat leaf Italian parsley or fresh coriender finely chopped can also
     be used if you don’t find parsley
  • salt to taste
  • spaghetti 

INSTRUCTIONS

 Partially Cook the Pasta

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Do not add salt to the water. We will be adding ladles of this hot water to a skillet to finish cooking the spaghetti. If you add salty water to cook the pasta, the water will evaporate in the skillet leaving too much salt in our dish.When the water is boiling, cook the pasta for just 2 minutes. In the meantim.

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Thinly slice the cloves of fresh garlic. keep half a teaspoon of  red chilli flakes aside . Mince a handful of parsley and set it aside. Save the parsley stems for flavoring the oil!.

Prepare the base oil 

  • Cover the bottom of a large skillet with the olive oil. Over medium heat, add: the garlic, chili pepper and some parsley stems.
    Cook for about 2 minutes or until the garlic has turned golden. When the pasta has cooked for 2 minutes.

Finish Cooking the Pasta in the maxima wok Pan

  • Transfer the spaghetti immediately to the infused olive oil along with 2 ladles of hot pasta water. Save the hot pasta water—we will continue adding it to the skillet to cook the pasta!
  • Cook the pasta like a risotto over medium heat. Set your timer for the rest of the cooking time required on the pasta package instruction Total cooking time for the average spaghetti brand is about 11 minutes. In this case, you’d set your timer for 9 minutes since we already cooked the pasta for 2 minutes.
  • When the first ladles of pasta water have been mostly absorbed, add a few ladles more. Continue adding water a few ladles at a time until the pasta is cooked .
  • When the pasta is cooked, salt to taste and add some minced parsley for freshness and color. And parsley adds a good flavour to the Aglio Olio.

NOTES

·         Do NOT add salt before in the pasta water.

  •  Unlike other pasta recipes, this recipe calls for cooking the pasta mostly in the pan with ladles of hot pasta water. We cook the pasta in this way to help us concentrate the starch coming from the pasta in order to create the creamy sauce. 
  • Do not over cook your spaghetti .
  • If you salt the pasta water, you will likely have too much concentrated salt left in your skillet when the water evaporates.
  • Add salt at the end (if needed)! If you don’t have fresh parsley leaves you can also use fresh coreinder leaves .
