Oh do I ever have a delicious treat for you… garlic pasta! This spaghetti dish is fast and tastes so amazing, I promise it will become a cornerstone recipe in your home!
This scrumptious pasta dish is one of our household favourites. Many years ago, a wonderful Italian boss of mine told me about this recipe. She gave no measurements and roughly described the process.
After many years of making this dish, I’ve fine-tuned the measurements. From beginning to end, this meal takes 8-10 minutes to prepare, requires five ingredients and the results are phenomenal! This is a fast and delicious dinner!
10 minutes and 5 ingredients... this garlic pasta recipe is fast and delicious! #food #recipe Click To TweetA very important side note though, this pasta dish is all about the garlic, so if you don’t like garlic, don’t bother.
Garlic Pasta
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 of a bulb of garlic (minced) I usually use 3/4... but we LOVE garlic
- 190 g of angel hair pasta
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare angel hair pasta as directed on the box.
- Warm the olive oil over medium heat.
- Saute the minced garlic until softened (don’t wait for it to turn brown or it will overcook).
- Pour garlic/oil mixture over strained pasta.
- Mix well.
- Add chopped parsley. Mix.
- Scoop onto plates and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over top.
This dish can be eaten alone but also pairs well with grilled chicken and a glass of white wine. Enjoy!
I do this and steam broccoli on the side- chop it up and toss in at the end. Also, asiago cheese is very flavorful and softer than parm. SO tastey and healthy
Wow this is a simply easy Friday night dinner. I love garlic too, and this looks divine (: delicious!!!
