- I show you how to make the simplest, classic spaghetti aglio e olio ( garlic and olive oil), helping you make the most of the ingredients you have in your pantry. This rustic pasta comes together in 10 minutes and is perfect to feed the whole family any day or night. FULL RECIPE BELOW
RECIPE: SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO
Ingredients:
1 lb package spaghetti (500 grams)
Kosher salt to taste
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (75 ml)
5 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
red pepper flakes to taste
½ bunch fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped, if you have it
freshly cracked black pepper
grated parmigiano cheese, to taste,
pasta cooking water
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add pasta and cook to 2 minutes prior to package instructions, about 7-8 minutes. Put pasta directly into the sauce using tongs.
Meanwhile, heat oil over low setting in a large skillet, until fragrant. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and remove from heat.
With a minute to go in boiling of your pasta ladle out about 1/3 cup of the starchy pasta water right into the garlic mixture. Bring back to high heat .
Using your tongs, scoop out the pasta into sauce and continue cooking it over high heat for the last two minutes, until sauce has reduced and pasta is cooked. Sprinkle with lots of parsley and grated cheese and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
Serves 4-6

Am 74 and Sicilian. Been eating that my entire life. It is called the Depression dish. I make it once a week and everyone loves it. I make mine with slicing the garlic and sautéing it in oil then pour it in the pasta and mix well and add Broccoli florets or Spinach. Then add the cheese.
Honestly, how many of us are thinking even quarantine wouldn’t be so bad if we could all be in Christine’s kitchen. I’ll bring the wine ☘️
ahhh ! Thank you ! I am working hard to stay in a good state of mind, so I will try to keep them coming. I can do either red or white, although I do prefer RED !

I'll bring my sous-vide equipment !
Count me in💃
I'll bake and bring the bread!
i love your videos because they have a nostalgia feel. no big fancy camera and lights, it’s like youtube back in 2012 :)
It's nice to see you grind the garlic with salt. In the early 80s, everybody did it. I thought it was a technique lost in time until I saw you do it. Thank you.
This is something I never heard of until now. I definitely will try it ☺
People do this in so many countries, till today. I don’t remember that in the 80’s in the US, if that’s what you mean. Not sure why people don’t do this here. I pound garlic with salt and or lemon even green chilies depending on what I’m making. I just use a mortar and pestle though. They are used so much more in other cuisines.
@@jijiipetti1433 Maybe it was the "rise of Italian food" about 20 years ago, when everyone went to "chunks of garlic" instead of a paste. I don't know.
This looks very delicious.!!!Enjoying your shows and also learning. Many thanks.
My pleasure !
Thanks for putting the ingredients and instructions in the description
You are welcome !
Christine, you are a natural born teacher!
I really enjoyed the video.
Thank you!
Thank you so much !
Grazie, Christine......this is a family favorite....will make it soon......delizioso......
Grazie Mille !
Thank you so much for all of these wonderful recipes, the humor and the love that emanates from your Greek kitchen! They are all a nice addition to my Yiayia's treasures!
During lockdown in our country I became seriously 'tired' of my old recipes & cooking in general. Complained to my husband who still thinks everything is really good. I became so bored with what I was preparing that even the ingredients were yelling - try something new with us! I am so so pleased to have had your cooking shows on my download! I am encouraged to try so many of your recipes Christine, with cupboard staples. Love the simplicity & yumminess. A huge thank you♥️
That is so great to hear! It can get tough to constantly come up with ideas so I'm glad we can spend some time in the kitchen together. Be well
I immediately RAN to the supermarket and got all the ingridients and RAN back as fast as i could and did my best to "copy" the preparation of this divine dish. I think i did quite well, it was soooo delicious. Instead of chiliflakes i took fresh chili and instead of cutting and mashing the garlic with a knife i took a mortar to squeeze them.
Thanks for the video and keep the awesome recipes coming.
I love that you RAN to supermarket ! That means you are as crazy as I am about food . So glad you loved it.
I’m an African-American guy who lived several years in Rome and all I can say is, “bellissimo!”. I’ve had that dish many times in Italy and soon I’m going to try it your way in my kitchen. Because it looks like the real deal!!!
Thank you ! I think you will love it, having lived in Rome for a few years . It was tough for us not to inhale the whole pan🇮🇹🍝
Just made this, so good! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure !
Wow! Yummy and so simple!
My mouth is just watering!
I have to make tomorrow
I made it and LOVED IT!
Lucky for me I have a Greek friend who told me where to the the pasta and cheese from a Greek store less than a mile from my home! Outstanding flavor and so glad I found the authentic ingredients!
I hope you make it. You will LOVE it .. Thank you
My favorite chef and teacher. Love your teaching style. Your camera person does a perfect job.
Beautiful dish👍👍Perfection 💚
Many thanks. It is so satisfying ...
I can't wait to cook it. Thank you Christine
Thank you. I hope you love it

My favourite since many years! Absolutely delicious!
Thank you for sharing. You have great videos 💖🙋🇸🇪
A dish you can make in less time than this video takes. In my opinion this is the best noodle dish in the world.
I learn something new about removing the germ of the garlic. thank you am really enjoying your cooking lessons
My pleasure ! Thank you for spending some time with me.
Gotta make that Parm work for ya! This looks lovely, you are lovely, thanks for keeping the videos rolling! - Paula
My pleasure! I'm glad we can spend some time in the kitchen as we pass through this crazy time. Stay tuned for more..
I’m liking this. Always wanted to learn Italian cooking. I watched a different video of this recipe and made it, it was excellent! But your explanations about why the pasta water, and why you don’t let the garlic brown, and freezing herbs in flake form rather than cubed are enormously helpful. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
just discovered your channel today, and oh how i love you already :)
Thank you so much !
Looks great. I'll be using that garlic grinding with the salt and knife. I enjoy your honesty. " Oh, garlic on the floor. " you roll with the mistake and have fun with it all. That is true love of cooking and inspirational. Thank you for your work.
Love all your food, recipes, technique~ a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much ! Be safe and stay tuned for another quarantine kitchen video tomorrow.
I love your videos Christine. I watch them over and over. My favorite one is your cast iron cornbread. Thank you!!
It looks very good! 👌🏻
Anna Neame thank you ! Also tastes great
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing I like to believe that. I’m going to make these Spaghetti. It is one of my favorite dishes.😋
Chef Christine. Thank you for that close-up on making garlic paste from raw cloves. I have trouble with that technique and now that you've shown it up close I know what I've done wrong. Love the recipe as well, one of my favs.
Arthur Ling so glad that close up
Helped. Thanks for watching and stay safe !
Pie crùust,utube
With a glass of wine 🍷Perfect👌
I’m making this tonight! Thank you!
Chris fantastico! How did you love it ?
Just delicious, and you are right I think that much garlic was needed in this dish, I love garlic and pasta and cheese. I love your energy when you cook it shows your passion and the end result is just dreamy. The green eyed monster did show up when you were relishing the spaghetti.
Lol let's just go with it and see what happens... Thank you Christine for the recipe, I didn't realize how simple that was...
Looks awesome
Wow! i it really looks delicious, inspired to try cooking. i like the way you give the instructions to cooking
Thank you so much. This is a good recipe to try as it's not too complicated and soo delicious. Thank you and have fun!

Your kitchen looks so elegant. Would love a tour.
This recipe is so simple yet so delicious! I made this for me and my boyfriend last night and he really liked it! Thank you x
Awesome !
I make this all the time, just like this (except I usually thinly slice the garlic). So simple and delicious!
I agree ! Thank you

from Japan…
My pleasure! Greetings to you in Japan from Canada. Stay safe and see you in the kitchen.
Just found you on TH-cam. Love your cooking and recipes. ❤❤
Thank you very much !
Great. I tried it, it was an instant hit with my friends. Thank you so much.
So great !
I just made it and I love it! I could never make it right, always burning the garlic. I would ask my Italian friends and they would say... you just saute the garlic in olive oil - right... lol
Thank you Christine!
That is so great ! Yes, Italian friends are like Greek mother's " just use as much as it takes " .... for every single recipe. Glad you loved it.
Christine, I thank you!
My pleasure. mmm garlic !
Oh, my goodness, this looks delicious! Wishing I hadn't just made spaghetti last night!
Ah well, it won't be long before You'll want to make a bowl of this delicious pasta.Thanks for watching
Classic Italian dinner ... cut the Parmesan into large pieces accompanied by a good wine ... appetizer ... then cook your excellent dish without that.
You are very good! A hug from Italy;-)
Thank you so much. I hope things are going well in Italy .. Grazie
Great presentation Christine and looks fantastic! This is in my rotation a couple of times a month. Easy and delish! I will have to try the garlic paste method in lieu of the chopped or paper thin sliced, which is how I usually prepare it.
That looks incredible!!
Thank you so much !
I got here today and I'm definately in! Loved your messed kitchen, it's just like mine. Greetigs from Brazil
Yes ! Thank you for the messy kitchen solidarity. Greetings back to you
Love spaghetti and seems so simple I can make it...it’s a winner any time
It is such a winner., I agree Thank you
Great video, glad to see more of you lately!
Thank you very much! I am trying to post more in this live style. Check out today's chocolate pudding
Nice...i like it
Yummy! I have made something like this before. Spagetti is one of my favorite foods.
Mine too! Thanks for watching
Looks amazing! Thanks for the technique on making the garlic into paste. Can’t wait to try that. I’m a Horticulturist by trade but I always have had in interest in culinary arts. So far I’ve made your bolognese sauce and beef bourguignon. OMG😍 they both were to die for. My wife was blown away with those meals. Your Dad’s Pastitsio recipe that you shared is next on my list to try. Your a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your passion for cooking and all these great recipes will all of us. Stay well and be safe❤️
Patrick Zusack thank you so much ! You have chosen the best of the best to make and I love that you love them as much as we do . Get ready for pastitsio. Oooh. Be well
Chef Christine!!! How great thou art... give kudos to the camera person as well, the closeup shots really bring the content to life.
Thank you ! My camera man also really appreciates it. He is working hard to get all the beautiful close ups . Stay well and hopefully we will be out of it soon.

Delicious😋
Dear Mrs Christine, your grace in cuisine is very enjoyable and elegant to watch. Just let me say that here in Italy we DO NOT add Parmigiano cheese to this poor as much magnificent recipe (your using of salted cooking water is perfect). More often we use to add (at the last second, not before) some grated and roasted bread (not too much thin). Bread must be crunchy and not in excess (one spoon). Someone uses - when possible - fresh green peperoncino that is little less hot than dry flakes but lightly fruity. Happy to see You're using ExtraVergin Olive Oil, that is the best and the more healthy for cooking. Maybe in the USA it's a little expensive, but it is absolutely worth the expense (keep in a dark and fresh place, best use within 15 months from vintage)
OH MY.....I have not seen anyone prep garlic like that since my mother did it......tearie eyed.......
i gonna try this weekend. it looks good would taste great.
Delicious!
Simple is always the best
I just love how you interact with us. I feel like I am in your kitchen. I feel Welcomed.
Marie Laveee thank you ! That’s exactly how I always intended it so I’m glad you are feeling it. I love sharing all my experience and love of food with you.
@@ChristineCushing Thank You
I’m SO in. Love this beautiful dish. ❤️
Alixandra Hice it is sooo good. Thank you
Fabulous!
PS I did ur Carnitas recipe my husband could not stop eating it . It was perfection thank u so much
Oh thank you ! I will be making them as a birthday request tomorrow also !

Many thanks. Be well.
Thank u chef. Another simple & delicious recipe. Sure me & my husband would relish it. Frozen parsley is a good tip at these challenging time
Glad you enjoyed it. The frozen herbs have been a great practical help to me these past few weeks. Hope you are well !
Thx Chef,i will try the delicious pasta Aglio e alio tonite for my family,look so simple & nice 😋
Grazie Mille Cristine, classico!!!
i just had aglio e olie and i want this version right now..instantly hungry again
3ternaL haha. It’s funny how that works. I hope you try my version. Thank you
This is very similar to something my Greek grandmother made, except she usually used butter instead of oil. She would saute the butter and get it to a point to where it was just about to burn and it had this nice roasted taste to it. It was something she used to just whip up for us kids for lunch or a snack when we came over.
We also had a similar dish growing up. I mean , Greeks pasta some kind of oil/ butter and garlic is a no brainer. Thanks for watching
Simple but delicious can have it any time and you did it again perfection-taste. I just cannot wait to go to the kitchen and make it for breakfast... it is early morning here in Bahrain. We love you 😍
Fatema Albalooshi thank you so much. Be well and see you in the kitchen
Υπέροχα φένονται όπως πάντα
Euxaristo !
Christine thank you so much for making these videos! It's always a joy to learn something new from you. Stay safe and take care of yourself
Thank you so much! I send you all the best and hopefully we'll get over this quickly.
Love your videos Christine, thank you!
Is it possible to reheat the pasta, as I work shifts?
Yes you can reheat this pasta ( although of course when it’s fresh it’s ideal). Be sure to cook it al dente so it downs get mushy when you reheat. I hope this helps. Thank you
@@ChristineCushing Great! Many thanks 😊
great. Thanks!!
My pleasure !
i love them i make it also often and indeed very little ingredients and then so much flavors.. this is delicious!! :)
It's so true. It is truly the most simple there is..
