    Spicy Aglio olio, Vegan vegetarian pasta recipe

    August 8, 2011 by Raks Anand 70 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Aglio olio

    Spicy Aglio Olio, a simple pasta recipe which is nothing but Angel hair pasta cooked in olive oil flavored with garlic and spiced with the chillies.

    Once when I ordered this from Pasta Mania, I loved the simplicity of the ingredients and loved the taste the best of all pasta dishes. It is a treat for those who doesnโ€™t like the usual pasta tomato sauce.

    ย In pasta mania, they use the chilli padi (Birds eye chilli) finely chopped for spice. This is the favorite part for me. If you want, you can swap with red chilli flakes as well.

    Try this easy and simplest pasta recipe and you will be amazed by its taste. The fragrant from garlic along with red chilli, infused in olive oil is quite good in this.

    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Boil pasta in enough water with salt and little bit of olive oil, until soft and cooked. (or as per the cooking instructions given in the wrapper)
    • Drain the water and wash in tap water to prevent sticking.
    • Chop garlic finely (mince) and chop the red chillies in to thin circles.
    • Heat a pan, add olive oil (do not let it fume) and add the chopped garlic and red chillies. Keep the flame in lowest.
    • Just give it a stir and add the cooked pasta, sprinkle some salt if desired.

    Notes

    • I used extra light tasting olive oil.

      I had used Spaghetti to make this a long time ago. I had followed the recipe written from some Italian cookbook. It said that adding a few drops of oil while boiling the pasta will prevent it from sticking to each other and we shouldn't rinse/wash the spaghetti as it will wash away the starch, making sauces harder to stick to it. I added some mint too and lots of garlic! It was awesome though! ๐Ÿ˜€
