aglio e olio my favorite midnight pasta

this is from Marcella hazans cookbook the essentials of classic Italian cooking I got it as a gift from my uncle about 20 years ago and this dish is always by go to because its so simple quick and delicious
ps i did call them noodles once but I do know better and am just bad with words.

Ingredients.

1 pound pasta
Salt
1/3c extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp garlic
Chili pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley

[Joaquin_Caballero]

Tip: boil the pasta in a much lower quantity of water so that the concentration of starch of the pasta water is higher and the water-oil emulsion becomes thicker and way richer

I make this too often, but i always add some lemon juice with the parsley at the end.

The fresh lemon squeeze is what makes this dish beyond amazing!

he is like me..."there is no need to grab a plate...why to do extra dishes" and start eating in the pan 🍳 itself 😂😂😂

This is an authentic Italian dish, you made it correct and I've had it the last 2 weeks with lunch!

Italian here from Rome. This is one of the best dishes we have here. Simple to cook, but super in taste!

[gcbwoods]

may I add, a very inexpensive dish to make that is so satisfying

[Kkazzo]

Italian here from Napoli. This is a very common dish very easy to make. Back in the day, the red chilly flakes was not included in and that’s what makes it Authentic.

Comfort food at its best! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Garlic and chile flakes is everything, I add lemon zest and 🍋 juice! It's a game changer, having citrus trees is a blessing!

On Sundays after a big Italian dinner. at 1:00, at about 6 or 7:00 my mother would cook 2lbs of pasta with garlic n oil just as yurs ! We would eat it just like that with graded Romano cheese on top. Omg, what great memories of my childhood! 😇 Thank u ❤️

That’s the simple and purest aglio, olió e peperoncino, well done. Now from then don’t be scared of adding some pecorino and even anchovies. Believe me, Italians used to throw anything else they like on this dish

My mom has made this every Easter since I was kid. I love this stuff

[charliescratten]

This is my nonnas comforting food she makes for us. We love it.

Peasant dishes are the best. Basic, easy and full of flavour! As an Italian I approve 😍

[tooniemama]

Growing up my Italian mom made this during lent all the time. I'm not a fan but the rest of the family loved it. Nice to see people still make and enjoy it.

[Sakuraqueen]

Cooked this so many times!! It's delicious and quick to prepare!! Thank you.

[elefsidi]

I made this exact recipe with Fussili instead of spaghetti. One of the most delicious dishes of all time. Period!

[lucreziaschiano]

I also love to add some anchovies* (those in olive oil) or Colatura di alici (anchovies' colatura) if I feel fancy 🤤

*If you add them in the oil together With the garlic and chilly, they Will melt leaving the MOST flavorfull oil ever.
