Aglio E Olio

Very simple (but VERY easy to mess up) classic Italian recipe. Traditionally it is only 3 ingredients (garlic, pasta, and olive oil), but there’s plenty of ways to add things to make it your own!

Step 1

Start by cooking your pasta al-dente’ in a very shallow pan with enough water to barely cover the pasta. As your pasta cooks begin making the sauce

Step 2

Add olive oil and parsley stems to a pan, begin ladling some pasta water to the pan. The key is using a 2:1 ratio of pasta water to olive oil. Add your garlic and chilis and if needed a little more pasta water. Cook and stir vigorously ensuring the water and oil emulsifies and garlic does not burn

Step 3

Remove the parsley stems from the emulsion, drain any remaining water off of the pasta. Transfer pasta and chopped parsley to emulsion, mix well and then enjoy!
