We recommend buying and using the Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Olive groves of a village called Asopos in Monemvasia, Greece. A collaborative effort and delicious product of 0.3 percent acidity which is considered the highest quality. Available to buy in the UK (Introduction offer 3 in the price of 1)
Here is the recipe from the movie which you can also find on the official website here.
Ingredients
-
1 lb dried spaghetti
-
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
-
12 large garlic cloves, thin slivers
-
1 tbl crushed red pepper flakes
-
1 cup fresh parsley, minced
-
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
-
sea salt
-
ground black pepper
-
2 lemons
Method
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the spaghetti, cooking until al dente 8-10 minutes.
-
Reserve some pasta water, then drain pasta.
-
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
-
Add garlic and stir frequently until the garlic is golden brown.
-
Add red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
-
Add the drained spaghetti directly to the pan.
-
Toss until spaghetti is thoroughly coated with the garlic oil (add reserved pasta water if necessary).
-
Remove pan from heat. Add the parsley, Parmesan and toss well.
(You can also try adding the parsley to the pan after the garlic is ready, then pour a cup of pasta water, stir and leave for a couple of minutes, then add the spaghetti to the pan – we made it like this and it was delicious) -
Check for flavour and adjust the salt if necessary.
-
Squeeze lemons to taste, garnish with more Parmesan, and enjoy!
