Pasta Aglio e Olio con Pancetta
​

This traditional garlic and oil pasta sauce originated in Naples, but is seen all throughout Italy. This dish is something I grew up with and ate at least once a week. What makes this pasta so delicious is a good quality olive oil, caramelized sweet garlic and salty pancetta. This simple dish is the perfect quick meal that is a sure crowd pleaser.
 
YIELD: MAKES ENOUGH FOR 1 POUND OF PASTA                       PREP TIME: 5 MIN
COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES
 
Ingredients:
½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
4 Cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
¼ lb Pancetta Finely Minced (optional)
1 Cup Salty Pasta Water
¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley (optional)
Salt and Pepper
1 Pound Pasta
Parmigiano Cheese
 
Directions:
  1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the pancetta and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until it starts to become golden.
  4. Heavily salt a large pot of water and cook pasta of choice until three quarters cooked.
  5. Reserve one cup of pasta water and add to the pan.
  6. Drain the pasta and toss this in the pan and continue to cook in the sauce.

  8. Serve topped with your favorite salty cheese i.e. Romano or Parmigiano.

I already knew just by looking at the picture of this pasta recipe above that this is a world class dish. I am sorry if I sound really exaggerating but I just really love pasta. I have had different types of pastas before because I do want to know what is the greatest among them all. With this being said, let me make this one as well to know what will be better. This doesn't look like it is hard to cook anyway. I am hoping that everything will result the way I want it to become. I do feel so excited about this.

It's always a dream of mine to be in Italy one day. There are different cities in Italy that are worth the visit, and one of that is Como. I have a favorite film that was shot in Como, and Lake Como was highlighted in the story. I was instantly captivated by what I saw, so I will have this simple desire to reach the country the place one day. I feel envious towards you because you've been in Como, a favorite place that I would love to be in someday.

Hi,

When I want to make cake style doughnuts, I usually make them with biscuit dough. I learned to love these because my mom made them when I was a child.

I can see why you would like this so much – it sounds wonderful. I would definitely add protein to this, simply because I can’t survive on high carb/low protein meals. I’m looking forward to trying it.
