I love to serve this with a side of Kale and Quinoa Salad, and a slice of Cheesy Garlic Bread. With a handful of ingredients, the main sauce ingredients being olive oil and garlic, you’ll end up with one of the most delicious pastas you’ll ever try. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pasta and top with parmesan cheese. This will help emulsify the sauce and give it more opportunity to stick to the pasta. You can add 1/4-1/2 cup to toss the pasta with the olive oil sauce.

Optional: Parmesan and lemon juice – A squeeze of fresh lemon is pretty typical to cut through the oil and balance out this dish.Parsley – This time the parsley isn’t just a garnish! We are using lots of it today to add a beautiful fresh flavor to this pasta.Red pepper flakes – Use as much or as little as you like.Garlic – The more the merrier in this recipe! Make sure to get fresh garlic so you can slice it.EVOO has a very low smoke point, and can burn easily to give off a bitter flavor. Olive oil – Make sure to use regular olive oil for cooking this rather than extra virgin olive oil.I think this recipe works best with long shapes such as spaghetti or fettuccini, but you can use small shapes such as penne if that’s what you prefer.
