Pasta Aglio e Oilio – Garlic & Rep Pepper Pasta
Pasta Aglio e Oilio is a dish from Dad’s childhood. It is a spicy Italian pasta dish made with olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes, like a lot of red pepper flakes. Dad’s Nana used to make this for him as a kid, which may explain why Dad loves spicy foods.
Ingredients
1/2 Cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
8 Cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Tbsp Dried parsley
Sea salt
Black pepper
Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Add the olive oil & garlic to a “cold” pan. This means to add them to the pan before you turn on the heat. Turn the heat on to medium.
Watch the garlic closely and as soon as it begins to brown add in the red pepper flakes. Stir well so everything mixes.
Add in 1/2 pound of cooked pasta, the lemon juice, and parsley.
Turn the heat off and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top the pasta with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
