SPAGHETTI W/ GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL




I was reading People Magazine on my way home from work and came across this recipe for Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil. Apparently this is Rihanna favorite meal to get at the Beverly Hills restaurant Scarpetta.


INGREDIENTS:
1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound of spaghetti
3 garlic cloves, thinly slices
A pinch of red pepper flakes
2 table spoons of chopped fresh parsley


Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is aldente.

 As the pasta cooks heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes. continue sauteing until the edges of the garlic just begin to brown, about 2 more minutes. Add the reserve cup of pasta water and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir for 5 minutes.



 Turn heat down to medium-low and add the drained pasta with the oil, parsley and garlic mixture.  Toss until the pasta has absorbed most of the liquid, about 3 minutes
