Anti-Vampire Spaghetti With 10 Cloves of Garlic
From cuzpat 14 years agoIngredients
- 10 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped shopping list
- Several pinches of hot red pepper flakes shopping list
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or as desired shopping list
- 1 pound spaghetti shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1/2 head of broccoli, broken into bite-size florets shopping list
- Freshly grated Parmesan, or other grating cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Put a large pot of water on the stove and start bringing it to a boil.
- Meanwhile, warm about half of the garlic with the pepper flakes in the olive oil over medium-low heat. Take care that the fumes from the pepper flakes don't irritate your eyes. If possible, open a window in the kitchen. When the garlic is warmed through, remove the pan from the heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the spaghetti and salt. When pasta is half cooked, still hard in its center, add the broccoli and finish cooking together.
- When the broccoli is bright green and just tender, the spaghetti should be al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- Toss the pasta and broccoli with the garlic-chile oil, and add the remaining garlic. Toss well and add a few spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water, shaking the pan over medium heat, adding a few more spoonfuls of water as you go.
- The cooking water acts as a liaison between pasta and sauce.
- Serve right away, sprinkled with cheese, if desired.
