If you haven't noticed, around my house, we like our food spicy. Andouille sausage is one of our favorite meats to cook with. Not only is it spicy and delicious, but the sausages are pre-cooked and are super easy to prepare. I usually slice the sausages and cook them in a skillet with bell peppers and onions. Anyhow - this isn't a post about sausage - it's about Garlic and Oil Spaghetti. We were due to hit the grocery store and the cupboards were pretty sparse, but this side dish didn't require anything that I don't normally have in the kitchen!
Ingredients: spaghetti noodles, extra virgin olive oil, crushed red pepper, garlic, parmesan cheese.
Diretions: Prepare the pasta as directed on the box. While that is cooking, in a skillet or sauce pan, saute minced garlic with crushed red pepper. I used minced garlic from a jar, but fresh garlic would be even better. I used about 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of red pepper and 2 tablespoons of garlic, which is approximately 4 cloves. This can all be adjusted depending on your personal taste. After you have drained the pasta, add the oil sauce to it. Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese before serving. You can garnish this with parsley if you want to add a little pizazz to your dish.
This dish had a great flavor, but I found it to be a little teensy bit bland for my taste. When I make this again, I will add more garlic and red pepper.
