Sometimes, you want to enjoy a pasta dish without having to simmer a sauce for an hour. This recipe actually comes together very quickly. Once the pasta finishes cooking, you have to act quickly, which is why all of your ingredients need to be prepped. And by “prepped,” we mean that you have to chop some parsley and thinly slice some garlic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that scene in Goodfellas<\/em>? You know the one when Paulie is finely shaving the garlic cloves with a razor blade? Well, you don’t need to shave the garlic that thinly, but you want to get it as thin as you can. If that means that you need to use a mandolin because you don’t trust your knife skills, so be it! The thin garlic slices get luxuriously soft in the warm oil, but you have to make sure that you don’t cook them too much. If you let the garlic slices crisp up, then your pasta will have a slightly bitter flavor that you cannot undo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Believe us when we tell you that your house will smell like garlic and chili flakes when you make this dish. If the smell of garlic is off-putting to you, this is not the dish for you. But that signature garlic smell is beautiful and romantic, even if garlic breath is not. For your pasta, you can use spaghetti, fettuccini, bucatini, or whatever long noodle you enjoy. Just make sure you cook the noodles al dente! <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil is a fragrant dish that requires a handful of ingredients and very little effort, but brims with flavor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":150151,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[2563,3002,3061,3287,3313,3886,6380,2041,2098,2137,2159,2256],"recipe_category":[1788,1791,1792],"yoast_head":"\n
