An amazing, mouth-watering Italian dish using the simplest of ingredients! You may think that this will be a garlic-bomb of a dish but the garlic flavour is subtle and not overpowering. Easy to make, quick and delicious – ideal for a weeknight meal!
Ingredients:
3-4 cloves garlic, peeled & thinly sliced
Handful of fresh parsley (basil also works)
200-300gms spaghetti or pasta of choice
5-6 tbs virgin olive oil
2-3 tsp salt
(Excellent optional addition would be 1 tsp chilli flakes)
Method:
1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, with the salt.
2. Add your spaghetti and coax it to submerge under the water, mix it at this stage to prevent it from sticking together. Follow pack instructions minus 1 minute.
3. Using a large shallow pan add generously your olive oil on a medium heat. Once oil is hot add the garlic being careful not to allow it to burn. Stir continuously and at the point before the garlic turns brown at the edges, then add a ladleful of pasta water to stop the garlic from frying further.
4. Stir the water/oil/garlic mix to reduce – once your pasta is just ready add this to the sauce and mix – the sauce will reduce over the next minute and finish the pasta in the pan.
5. Chop parsley finely and sprinkle over and serve.
An amazing dish which is really cheap and quick to make.

this is one of the simplest and cheapest pasta dishes that you can make spaghetti agoio or to me it’s garlic and olive oil but it’s so simple and delicious that it’s ranked in the top 10 pasta dishes in the world so let’s get on with it so this really is one of the simplest pasta dishes you can ever put together it can be done in 10 or 15 minutes and it’s so simple to do so let’s get going I’m going to take three cloves of garlic I’ve peeled these so I’m just going to thinly slice them I’ve got some fresh parsley so I’m just going to Bunch this up and chop this [Music] finally so that’s it really that’s all the ingredients that go into this dish I’ve got some spaghetti you can use any pasta of your choice I’m using extra virgin olive olive oil but normal olive oil is fine as well it’s just as delicious I’ve got some salt the garlic if you prefer more garlic put more garlic in it’s absolutely delicious how the garlic infuses through the pasta and then the parsley really finishes it off with a kind of ory earthy taste so let’s get cooking so to begin with I’m going to put some water in a pan just enough to cook your pasta I’m going to put quite a generous amount of salt into the water we’re going to bring this to the boil and then we’re going to add the pasta when it’s boiling so there we go the water’s at the boil I’m going to put the pasta in now so we just drop the pasta in and then we just Cox it down while the pasta gets soft just so it’s all submerged make sure it doesn’t stick together there we go so we’re going to cook this for just shy of the pocket instructions around about 8 minutes so we’ll get this put on the Hub okay so we’ll start with the sauce and get your oil in the pan now this is quite a generous amount of olive oil but to be fair this is what makes the dish so get your oil warmed up so it’s about a medium heat about 5 out of 10 and we’re just going to let the oil warm up in the pan and then we’ll put the garlic [Music] in now we just want to let the garlic baste in the oil it’s going to release its flavors as it gets hot you do not want to burn the garlic you want to take it to the point just before before it starts going brown that way it’s released a lot of its flavor into the oil the important bit here is not to turn it up too high if you turn it up too high you’re going to burn the garlic and you’re going to give it a bit of taste so keep it on a medium heat just to let the garlic Infuse its flavors out there’s no better smell of garlic and olive oil together check the pasta just keep stiring it from time to time as you can see the garlic is just starting to fry away and you don’t want to be burn it so keep it moving around so I’m just starting to see the garlic turn its color going slightly Brown that’s the point where you want it to stop cooking so you take some of your pasta water and straight in that stops the garlic from burning now so this is now going to emulsify into your sauce put another one in [Applause] [Applause] there so as the water in the pan reduces down it’s going to emulsify down the water as we salted it before this means you don’t have to add any extra salt and the starches in the water are going to form a beautiful silky smooth sauce which is going to quat all of your spaghetti so we’re going to test the spaghetti as we are now it’s nearly there it’s still a little bit tough but we don’t want it to go completely soft we want to keep the alente and we’re going to cook the rest in the pan so the final bit of absorption from the [Applause] spaghetti takes in the beautiful flavors I think it’s about 30 more seconds there now because the water’s in the pan it’s not burning the garlic the actual garlic is just now flesh it’s released most of its flavors into this oil you can drag the spoon through the pan it it leaves a trail behind the spoon which shows you it’s thickening up so that’s it for the spaghetti that’s nearly done so what we want to do is going to take this spaghetti out and put it straight in the [Applause] pan so we’ll leave the water there cuz we might need a little bit more if it gets too dry and we’re just going to mix this round Co the spaghetti in the lovely olive oil and garlic infused sauce the spaghetti is glistening now as you can see it’s took on a lot of this sauce it’s co the spaghetti now this final stage only takes a minute or two and what it’s going to do is finish the spaghetti off in the pan we’re going to add the Pasty now so there we go have one f final Taste of the spaghetti perfect that is done simple as that so let’s Dish It Up [Music] [Music] [Music] that is delicious whil you think the garlic would be really strong it isn’t it’s really subtly infused with all the olive oil the salt comes from the pasta water but if you prefer more salt just add some more you could put black pepper on this some chili flakes so give it a go it’s such a quick and simple meal very inexpensive to make super quick and absolutely delicious till the next one [Music]
