Easy and so good, if you love garlic then you love this pasta dish! adjust the garlic to taste, I use 4 tablespoons for this recipe, you might want to reduce that a bit. Increase the dried red pepper flakes for more heat!
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb spaghetti, pasta (uncooked)
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons fresh minced garlic, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- salt and black pepper
Directions
1
Bring about 5 quarts of water to a boil with 3 teaspoons salt; add in the spaghetti and cook only until firm-tender; drain but RESERVE 1/2 cup pasta water.2
Start this when you are boiling the pasta; Heat about 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet.3
Add in 3 tablespoons garlic and about 1/2 teaspoon salt with black pepper to taste; saute stirring often until the garlic is light brown (about 6-8 minutes) remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, parsley, lemon juice and about 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water; mix to combine.4
Transfer the drained pasta to a large serving bowl; toss with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining reserved cooking water.5

This was wonderful! My DH did not agree, however, he does not believe in a pasta dish without some form of meat, seafood or chicken. I had planned to make this as a side dish to pair with an italian chicken dish, however, ended up making this the prime dish. This is one of my all time favorite foods and I was looking for a dish with perfect measurements. Despite my misreading the directions and plopping in all olive oil up front, this dish delivered WONDERFUL flavor. I increased the garlic and crushed red peppers and LOVED the addition of the fresh lemon. Will definitely make this one again...but maybe when my DH is out of town. Great recipe Kitten!! I LOVED IT!

easy and simply delicious. flavors really compliment each other well and very uncomplicated. recipe is easier than it appears. this dish is a great meal to make when you are pressed for time and ingredients. i was looking for something healthy to make but my cupboards were a bit lacking. i will make this a regular meal for myself. i had it prepared in no time at all; did use just a bit of sea salt to stir into it and i cut up a few grape tomatoes as i had to use them before they went bad. excellent dish.

This was wonderful made as is (with all the garlic). I love the stuff, so it was perfect. I enjoyed it so much, I made it again a few days later. My daughter thought it was too spicy, so I will keep some aside without the red pepper flakes for her next time to make it more kid friendly. To me, it was perfect. I cannot wait to have it again. It is my new favorite pasta dish!
