How the fuck do i make good spaghetti aglio e olio?
Also, can i use fresh oregano isntead of parsley, i fucking hate parsley?
Your just heating peppers and garlic in oil to make an infusion . Toss in cooked pasta and swirl it around a bit. That's it your done

While cooking your pasta, put a good amount of olive oil in a pan and put in on medium-low heat. Add Garlic (and chili if you like) right in. Let it slowly sizzle and once it's toasted (not burnt!) you can add your pasta in. You'll probably need like 3 cloves of garlic. And if you don't like parsley, maybe try fresh basil. I think that oregano might be a little too "strong". But do what you like. Oh, and don't forget the parmigiano.
It's called spaghetti al aglio, olio, e peperoncino because that's all it has, no fucking parsley, no fucking oregano, nothing else.

nah you want flesh, not seeds. seeds can be overwhelming
>>8962483
Are you the guy who spergs out about carbonara?
>>8962483
I get lemon and chocolate ice cream IN THE SAME CONE whenever I go to Italy.
>>8962505
There's a word for that, dipshit.
>>8962493
The flesh brings aroma and spice, the seeds are basically just hot and bitter.
So I personally would advice to use flesh and just some seeds
>>8962567
i use almost exclusive seeds whenever i cook hot stuff and its working great, they DO have a slight aroma
if he wants that much a pepper taste then he can just put a spoon of paprika with the seeds and it will be the same result
>>8962590
Yeah, so i guess it's really a thing depending on taste. Both are kinda legit ways I think
>>8962201
I won't cover basics, just giving tips:
-Don't burn the garlic
-Cook spaghetti very al-dente and reserve some pasta water
-When you add spaghetti to your sauce pan, add some of that pasta water (best amount vary widely
-A little more olive oil (uncooked) after everything is mixed together
done
the pasta water will make for a better-coating sauce
"al-dente-ness" will compensate the extra cooking time the spaghetti will get in the pan while pasta water evaporates/gets absorbed
>can I use oregano instead of parsley?
It's called "aglio e olio" because in it's most basic form it only involves garlic and oil.
Oregano is definitely uncommon, but anything besides those two ingredients is up to you.

Do I need a scuba tank for this recipe?!?!?
All seriousness tho, making fresh pasta is the best way to up your pasta game.
that shit hardly even qualify as a recipe, the fuck is wrong with /ck/? the fuck is wrong with genZ?
At this rate by the end of the year you'll ask how to put butter and salt in instant mashed potatoes
>>8963813
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
>>8963813
Yes, but it's not gross.
It's a very poor dish that would be bland if it weren't for oil quality, proper technique and amount of garlic the average italian can handle.
>>8963831
>that amount of garlic
NO
>>8963843
Depends on the recipe and the type of pasta. You can't cook fresh pasta to al dente the same way you can with dry. I'd go with fresh ravioli and tortellini, and fresh tagliatelle, papardelle etc with ragu, but in most other situations dry is better.

>How the fuck do i make good spaghetti aglio e olio?
Anyway you want, dude.
It's not a complicated dish. Just infuse some olive oil with whatever the fuck you want, and mix in the pasta of your choice.
>can i use fresh oregano instead of parsley
Absolutely, it's your fucking dish, so if you want to make it with oregano, because you like oregano, then make it with oregano.
Use any combo you want.
I like garlic / fresh basil / black pepper the best.
>>8962201
No matter how you make this, it will never be flavorful. Just pass and make something better.
>>8962201
The way to get the oil to have a pungent garlic flavor is to infuse it by placing crushed cloves of garlic in cold oil and putting the heat on low. Let it go for 1/2 hour while you shitpost on /ck/. Then do your spaghetti and herbs. You'll have great garlic flavor. I eat the cloves of garlic although I know Nonna would throw a shitfit about it.

I was wondering when anyone else was going to say this
Though I was content to just keep my mouth shut and not embarrass myself for being a pleb or whatever
I assume I'm making it wrong, though my attempts to make it flavorful ended up turning into a much more elaborate, distinctly different dish.

>Absolutely, it's your fucking dish
Just remember anon, you are the Captain EO, of your spaghetti aglio e olio!
I suggest a little sprinkle of cayenne.
