Aglio e Olio step by step

  1. Boil spaghetti and cook until al dente..
  2. While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil over medium low heat. Add in the garlic and let it cook until soft and golden (you may need to lower the heat to keep it from browning too fast). (Also smoke point of olive oil is low... so ensure medium-low heat).
  3. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it while reserving some of the starchy pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the oil and garlic. Toss the pasta around until it’s coated (this is where you can add in the starchy pasta water to keep the pasta moist if it looks too dry)..
  4. Add in the seasonings and grated cheese, toss to combine and serve..

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over. Aglio e olio, I think it's safe to claim, is the simplest pantry-staples-only pasta sauce in the entire Italian canon. You don't even need cheese—in fact, some would argue cheese isn't a welcome addition. If you have spaghetti, garlic, salt, and oil, you can make this pasta right now. Spaghetti aglio e olio translates to "spaghetti with garlic and oil." The traditional dish contains little more than these ingredients.
