This was a tradition in our home. We call it Olio d'oliva e aglio. What my mom did was saute' bread crumbs in a pan and toss the pasta and garlic with this. We also do not separate the garlic from the oil we just toss it all together. Does make a good quick supper or snack.
I definitely don't use two cups of olive oil but I do use quite a bit as well as a good chunk of butter. When I make it for myself I just use half a bulb of garlic. I also add a medium tomato and LOTS of pepper! Basically this is a good recipe to build on. Don't be afraid of the garlic it doesn't even taste garlicky.
Really good as is and even better this is a perfect recipe to build on. I've used it and added all kinds of everything that I'm in the mood for then and there. Its really good for instance to add ham or bacon and/or peppers and so forth. Whatever you fancy. Thank you its a great Chameleon of a recipe.
I figured that I would try this recipe because my husband and I are big garlic lovers. However if I make this again I will only use one bulb of garlic because 2 bulbs just made it way to strong. My eyes are still watering and my nose is still running from eating this dish.
very good for a side dish. served with chicken and pasta complimented it perfectly.
MMMMM.. SUCH a good recipe! I've made it for all my close fam & friends. I always add a little extra cheese though on it! And yes the garlic carmalizes into the PERFECT amount! I highly recommend this recipe!!
Loved this & so easy! I halved the reciped for just the two of us. Added a little crushed red pepper basil and lemon juice right at the end. Love learning a new technique!
I did not care for this recipe....followed the recipe to a tee and was so overbearing. I highly do NOT recommend this dish...even for garlic lovers.
I love this dish. I usually cut some grape tomatoes in half and saute them with the garlic and oil. Then I toss the mixture with the garlic and add the cheese. You can add customize this to your own tastes by adding different veggies and/or meats so yummy!!
