Fettucine Aglio e Olio

Do you love pasta? I love pasta so this recipe looked extremely appealing. When you travel you are exposed to so many different cuisines but for me pasta is a fantastic choice no matter where I am.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 lb. Fettucine
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 – 8 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano, grated
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
 
DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cooking fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup of salty pasta water and drain.
  2. Place empty pot over medium heat with olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. When garlic starts to turn golden, add in cooked pasta, pasta water and parmigiana.
  3. Reduce heat to low, toss pasta until sauce comes together and coats each noodle.
  4. Finish with lemon juice, parsley and black pepper.
