aglio e olio parmesan
Classic spaghetti tossed in aromatic garlic oil and finished with melty Break of Dawn Parmesan. A minimalist yet flavorful Italian favorite.
Preparation Time - 35 Minutes
Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- ½ cup Break of Dawn Parmesan, freshly grated Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet over low heat, warm the olive oil and add the sliced garlic. Sauté until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add the red chili flakes and the drained pasta, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce bind to the pasta.
- Remove from heat and toss with Break of Dawn Parmesan, mixing until the cheese melts slightly and creates a silky coating.
- Season with a pinch of salt if needed, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
