Garlic Pasta Recipe

Garlic pasta recipe, one of the quickest pasta recipes. This easy pasta recipe needs a few minutes to be ready to eat.

Garlic and oil pasta is probably the simplest pasta for Italians. It's the "solution" in late evening, after going out, between friends. "Let's make an aglio e olio?" Of course, around the world it's made with different ingredients, depending on where you are. To prepare this garlic pasta recipe (it's one of my favourites) you just need

these few ingredients:

• good quality pasta (italian one would be better)

• good extra virgin olive oil

• minced garlic

• chopped parsley (if you like it)

• you can add a bit of red pepper.

How to prepare it:

Put the water to boil and add salt to it.

In a small pan, separately, put the extra virgin olive oil and the minced garlic. Warm it without colouring the garlic. Most of the times, people add “peperoncino” (small red dried chilli pepper) and it becomes “aglio, olio e peperoncino”.

If you prefer it creamy, prepare a garlic butter pasta just adding a piece of butter to the oil while cooking the garlic.

Most seafood pasta recipes use just to add seafood to this garlic pasta recipe as it is a perfect basis for seafood.

Pasta cacio e pepe

Besides pasta with garlic and oli, there's another simple pasta from Rome, called "cacio e pepe" that means cheese and pepper. This recipe only needs four ingredients! Egg pasta, grated pecorino cheese, freshly grounded pepper and salt.

After cooking the pasta in salted water, pass it quickly through a colander, keeping it wet and add abundant grated pecorino cheese and pepper. Then mix it quicky and...eat!

It's typical from Roma region, and they usually do it with a kind of "huge" spaghetti (egg pasta). The photo aside was taken by me in Rome. It was the best pasta cacio e pepe I've ever eaten! It was just...gorgeous! It is incredibly how such a few good quality ingredients, a few time and a simple recipe can do!

These are two easy vegetarian meals that can be prepared in a few minutes.
