SPAGHETTI WITH OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Then add salt and put in the pasta. Stir well.
• In the meantime, combine the garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet and bring them to a gentle simmer. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes, until the garlic has softened and just started to brown.
• At this point, add about 1/2 cup of pasta water to stop the garlic from cooking further.
• Drain your spaghetti and add it to the skillet. Add the parsley, basil, and Parmesan. Then stir everything together nicely. If the sauce looks a bit too dry, add in another 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water.
• Serve this pasta garnished with freshly grated black pepper, chili flakes, fresh herbs, and/or Parmesan on top.

SPAGHETTI WITH OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of water for the pasta. Salt generously and cook pasta until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic is tender and fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside until the pasta is ready. (*Note: you can also cook the garlic longer, until it just starts to colour, for a more roasted garlic flavour to the dish).
• When pasta is ready, return the skillet to the heat over medium heat. Use tongs to remove the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the olive oil mixture. Add the parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest and butter, if using, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
