Quick pasta for one

“I doubled this and used regular ole spaghetti. It was wonderful! I used 2 T minced garlic from a jar, and added 1 t red pepper flakes. So easy to make–So good to eat! Thanks Samuel!”

“I grew up with a similar recipe…but my momalways added fresh or dried basil to the garlic oil just before tossing with the spaghetti.It’s really a winner! We call it garlic spaghetti, a good side to serve with steak.”

“I adore garlic (can never have too much)!. To simplify (and since I always have it on hand) I used two teaspoons of already miced garlic and a sprinkling of oregano.”

“This is one delicious, quick and easy dish which uses ingredients I always keep on hand.I used some angel hair pasta and 3 teaspoons refrigerated garlic.Right before serving I tossed in some chopped roma tomatoes and topped with some grated parmesan cheese! Wonderful!Thank you Samuel Holden for sharing this recipe!”

“The classic “aglio e olio” sauce… However, I personally like it better with some cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley thrown in at the last minute. Tip for people who love spicy: put in some crushed, died chillies together with the garlic.”

“My dad makes soemthing very similar to this, but they weren’t home when I needed the recipe so wa-la.I did add about 6 cloves of garlic (I’m a freak). Very flavorful and yummy – great as a left-over too.Hubby loved it.Served it with my Chicken w/Rosemary & Thyme recipe.YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY.”

“I always ordered this in my favorite neighborhood “family” bar/Italian restaurant which recently closed after 80 years in business (boo-hoo). Now I have the recipe to make it for myself! I always called it Pasta “ollie-o-lee-o”. Very easy to make as posted, and I added a few sprinkles of Parmesan to my plate as I always did. Thanks for posting Samuel. Made for When It’s Hot Tag Game.”

“tried this recently and loved it.did add a can of stewed tomatoes and minced garlic and it was very good.then added a package of hamburger to it for my hubby who wont eat anything without meat and it was still very good.”

“The more I ate the more I loved it! So quick & delicious! I sliced the garlic before I sauted it & I used almost a whole head of garlic.. I’m a garlic lover as well & I tried getting a few slices in with every bite. I added diced tomatoes & then I meant to add shaved parm. cheese but it was so good I forgot. I’ll remember next time. Thank you for posting!”

“This was great b/c I’ve just come home from vacation and the fridge was almost empty! I always have pasta (whole wheat) and garlic on hand and my mom had sent me home with some fresh tomatoes.I added some canned black olives and had just what I needed to tide me over before grocery shopping.Unfortunately, I ate it so fast I didn’t take time out for a picture! Another time perhaps!”

“I have been making this for years!Talk about the ultimate comfort food for me.I like to top with parmesean cheese and fresh parsley, if I have it.I also use butter instead of olive oil.This recipe is awesome because I always have these ingredients on hand.”

“i have been enjoying this recipe for more than 10 yrs, i sometimes add fresh basil before combining the pasta. i always pile on the parmisian cheese very much comfort food for me…thanks for sharing and reminding me of a meal i am over due for :-)”
