Pretty Parslied Spaghetti Recipe

Pretty Parslied Spaghetti

Absolutely delicious and mouth-watering! Feel free to sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper or a pinch or two of red chili flakes on top.

Ingredients

8 oz uncooked spaghetti

2 ½ oz Parmesan cheese, grated

1 ½ cups fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

5 teaspoons olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon plus ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

Directions

1. Fill a large saucepan with salted water (with 1 teaspoon of salt) and bring it to a boil, over moderate heat. Then, add in the pasta and cook until al dente, for 7 minutes.

Drain in a colander placed over a large bowl, reserving approximately 1 ½ cups of the cooking liquid.

2. Next, over medium heat in a large skillet; heat up 1 tablespoon of oil until hot. Once done; add in the garlic and cook until turns pale golden brown, for a minute or two.

3. Scoop the pasta into the skillet, gently toss to coat, and then, add in the Parmesan and parsley; toss again until all the strands of pasta are nicely covered.

Add in the kept-aside pasta cooking liquid to loosen the sauce, as required. Sprinkle with the leftover pepper and salt.

Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Serve warm and enjoy.
