Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Recipe courtesy of Scott Conant
Level: Easy
Total: 20 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound good quality dried spaghetti
3 garlic cloves, sliced very thinly
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, more to taste (optional)
Directions
Bring a large pot of very well salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Start cooking the spaghetti.
While it cooks, add the garlic to the pan with just enough heat so that it sizzles gently. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. When the outside edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add 1 cup of the pasta water and a pinch of salt. Keep cooking, shaking the pan to create an emulsion, until the oil and water mixture no longer has that very harsh raw garlic flavor.
When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan, along with the chopped parsley, if using, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

Beaucoup de singerie pour pas grand chose
Yes! Please!!
That is actually how we do it in Italy, if you want you can also add the parsley stems to the frying oil and use actually fresh red peppers in thin slices, but this video shows a pretty accurate italian recipe, and the use of starch rich water is spot on
This is the first dish my pops taught me how to make. RIP Dad❤❤❤
Looks like wateres down 🐎 💩
Best lesson I ever had
"Pasta cooking liquid" equals water lmao
Thank you! 😊😊😊❤
This the best pasta dish out there sounds like others agree peace and love happy eating friends
Good fellas used a razor blade but this dish looks good
No butter?
So mag ich sie am liebsten 🥰
Is this Trumps nephew? Seem to have the same complexion even the whiter arms and hands.
it’s too simple
I was taught to make the sauce with Chianti wine. Also hot (or mild) italian sausage. Serve with garlic bread and (of course) red wine. First time I’ve ever seen anyone else make it!!
that hair is fabulous
My father always made this at midnight, a great snack👍👏👏❤️🇮🇹🌹❤️🐎
🇨🇦❤️🤗🙌 🧄 🍝
Thanks for the lesson!!!
Simply perfect.
I made this, it's good
Do we really need another version of this basic pasta dish or on how to melt butter
Excellent Chef 😘😋
That makeup crew is so out of line for letting him film like that?! Haha
It’s really great, but I would add Parmesan or Romano cheese to that
Try anchovys in your oil
Looks good. Add a little raw red onion to kick it up a notch.
Scott yeah 😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Cooking it like this really makes a big difference…… 👍👍
Simple and yet a Signature Dish which Tastes Awesome….
Just made it tonight, I do different things with it sometimes, tonight I added an Italian hot pepper and topped with fresh parmesan.. so good
This is exactly what is cooked after a 7 course meal is finished!😮 I'm not kidding!! 🍝
I add chili garlic sauce. Amazing
It's my favorite way of making spaghetti.
Well, where’s the salt, butter and Parmesan cheese, those are absolutely essential for a good pasta!
Shut up
Add anchovies, and optional toasted bread crumbs.
You could’ve shut up earlier.
Paul Sorvino. Exactly.
Um Scott Goodfellas they used a razor blade to slice the garlic… Scott you’re slipping 😂❤
