This simple Spaghetti Aglio e Olio from Goop, a classic Italian pasta with garlic and olive oil, takes only 9 ingredients and less than 20 minutes to make!
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¾ pound pasta, such as linguine
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 3 tablespoons chopped basil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle and smell fragrant, turn off the heat and let the oil infuse.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water before draining.
3. Turn the heat under the sauté pan to low and toss in the drained pasta. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, adding the reserved cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce has a nice consistency. 4. Turn off the heat, add the herbs and ½ cup Parmesan, and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with extra Parmesan on the side.
