Aglio E Olio With Tuna Recipes

AGLIO E OLIO WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta is cooking, place the olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper in skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic until it begins to turn golden brown. Be careful not to overcook it or it will become bitter.
• Drain the tuna, reserving the olive oil and garlic from the jar.
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain and toss with the garlic and olive oil mixture. Stir in half of the reserved olive oil from the jar.
• Divide the pasta between 4 bowls. Place the tuna fillets on top and drizzle with the remaining olive oil and garlic from the jar.
• Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
• Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl.
• Combine garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat to slowly toast garlic, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low when olive oil begins to bubble. Cook and stir until garlic is golden brown, about another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt into the pasta. Pour in olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; stir until combined.
• Serve pasta topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for about 10 mins, or until al dente - it should retain a little bite.
• When the pasta is nearly ready, heat the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat and sizzle the garlic and chilli, if using, for 1 minute until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden but not brown (the garlic will taste bitter if it gets too dark).
• Drain the spaghetti and add it to the garlicky oil with the parsley. Season and toss to combine, then serve.
