Connor Ragan’s Aglio e Olio Pasta

This is a pasta that’s really easy to make and requires few ingredients, so it’s been a favorite in college. Shamelessly stolen from the movie, Chef.

*Side commentary from Connor’s big cousins: While we were living off Kraft Easy Mac and microwavable popcorn in college, you’re making Aglio e Olio! Touché, Connor. We are VERY impressed!

Ingredients

• ½ Head garlic
• ½ Cup parsley
• ½ Cup olive oil
• 1 tsp Red pepper flakes (a little goes a long way)
• ½ lb Linguini
• ½ Lemon

Instructions

• Salt a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook the linguini.
• Slice the garlic cloves thinly and heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and let the edges of the slices turn brown. Add the red pepper flakes and turn the heat to medium low.
• Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the olive oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic.
• Squeeze lemon juice on top, mix in the chopped parsley.
• Salt and pepper to taste, then serve. I like a bit of parmesan cheese on top.
