Linguine aglio e olio must be one of my favorite Italian recipes. It is a really easy recipe and can be done in less than 20 minutes. This passed weekend I got my own basil plant, which really made me want to make this. Fresh basil is perfect for this dish!
Ingredients:
Linguine
2.5oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5 Cloves of Garlic
Italian Long Hot Peppers
Parmigiana or Pecorino Romano Cheese
What you'll need to do first is fill up a pot with water and put it on the stove over high heat. Meanwhile, thinly slice the 5 cloves of garlic and quarter the hot peppers.
Once the water begins to boil, add in your linguine. Add a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of olive oil, give it a quick mix.
In a pan, pour 2.5oz of extra virgin olive oil and the garlic and pepper. Put the stove on medium to low heat. Make sure you do not let the garlic burn or turn brown. You will want to keep them white, even when served.
When the linguine is just about ready to be strained, turn up the heat on the pan. Strain the linguine and add it to the pan of garlic, peppers and olive oil; now turn the heat lower and mix.
Take a portion and put in a dish. Top it off with a few fresh basil leaves and sprinkle parmigiana or Pecorino Romano cheese over it.
Hope you enjoyed this!
