Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti With Oil And Garlic Recipe
- 3/4 cup good olive oil
- 12 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lemon
- Large handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Heat the olive oil with the garlic over very low heat in a small skillet (you want it to at least cover the bottom of the skillet, and then some, so the garlic can "steep").
- When the garlic turns opaque, add the chili flakes, salt, and squeeze the lemon into the oil. Turn off the heat--the garlic should gently begin to brown around the edges. When the oil has cooled somewhat, add the parsley so that it gently wilts.
- In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in abundant, salty water until al dente. Drain, transfer to a serving bowl, then cover with the warm oil and toss with tongs. Drizzle more olive oil if desired.
