Pasta with Garlic and Oil (Aglio e Olio)
Simply, easy, and tastes great.
Ingredients
1 pound dried pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or your favorite pasta)
1 tbsp butter
8oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 broccoli crown, chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3/4 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente.
Heat saute pan over medium heat. Melt butter. Saute mushrooms for 8-10 minutes or until water has evaporated.
Steam broccoli for 5 minutes or desired degree of doneness.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until garlic is lightly browned.
Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, and place in a bowl for tossing and serving. Add olive oil mixture, broccoli, mushrooms, and cheese. Toss to combine ingredients. Add the reserved cooking liquid if mixture seems dry. Serve immediately.
