Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
This classic Italian pasta dish lets Goldi’s Smooth oil shine — its fresh, rounded flavour pairs perfectly with garlic, chilli and parsley.
Goldi’s New Harvest Smooth
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Ingredients
200g spaghetti
4 tablespoons Goldi Smooth extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 small red chilli, finely sliced (or to taste)
Small handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Grated parmesan, to serve (optional but highly recommended)
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
- While the pasta cooks, heat Goldi Smooth olive oil in a large pan over low-medium heat.
- Add sliced garlic and chilli. Sauté gently until the garlic is just golden — watch closely to avoid burning.
- Toss in the drained pasta along with a splash of reserved pasta water. Mix well to coat, loosening with more water if needed.
- Stir through chopped parsley and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Plate up, drizzle with a final splash of Goldi Smooth, and finish with parmesan.
Tip: This dish is all about the oil — do not hold back on the Smooth.
