How do you make good simple spaghetti for two or three people?!
Answers:
Try this, or one of the alternative dishes!. They don't come better or simpler!.
GARLIC & OIL PASTA (AGLIO E OLIO)
Per Person
INGREDIENTS
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of olive oil
125ml of water
? of a teaspoon of salt
100g of spaghetti
Ground pepper to taste
METHOD
Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces!.
Put the oil into a frying pan on a moderate heat!. Add the garlic!. Fry the garlic for about 5 minutes until it is brown, stirring to stop it sticking!.
Put the water and salt into a saucepan and bring to the boil!. Put the pasta into the water!. Stir it to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan!. Bring back to the boil and continue to cook, stirring to stop it sticking!.
Begin testing it about 2 minutes before the packet instructions say it should be done!. The best way to judge if pasta is cooked is to bite it!. This is tricky, because if you fish out a bit and stick in your mouth you may burn your mouth on the boiling water!. Wait a bit and blow on it, then bite it!. If it is hard it needs longer!. If it is chewy (or ‘al dente’, Italian for ‘to the teeth’) it is ready!. If it is soft it is overcooked!.
Drain the pasta in a sieve or colander!. Season with the pepper!.
Always ‘take the pasta to the sauce’!. Put the pasta in the pan with the sauce and stir until thoroughly coated!.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
Use any other long thin plain pasta, like linguine (thin and flat), tagliolini (very thin and flat) or spaghettini (very thin and round), instead of spaghetti!.
For Garlic & Parsley Pasta, add 25g per person of fresh parsley!. Wash, shake dry and finely chop the parsley!. Add the parsley just before serving!.
For Garlic & Anchovy Pasta, add 13g (? of a 50g tin) per person of anchovy fillets in olive oil!. If you are using the whole tin, use the oil from this to fry the garlic!. Add the anchovies to the garlic after the 5 minutes, and mash up until smooth!.
For Garlic, Anchovy & Olive Pasta, add 2 or 3 pitted black olives and 2 or 3 pitted green olives per person to the Garlic & Anchovy Pasta just before serving!.
TIPS
If you use enough water, add the pasta when the water is boiling, stir the pasta and don’t wander off (‘Gli spaghetti amano la compagnia’ or ‘spaghetti loves company’) and don’t overcook it, adding olive oil to the water to stop it sticking is totally unnecessary!.
