  1. While I’m sure it would taste good as shown, I’m afraid it is missing the most important part of the recipe. The spaghetti, good, but I personally prefer linguine, should not be drained. It should be dropped in the pan with the olive oil and garlic, then a couple of scoops of the starchy pasta water should be added and the pasta tossed for a minute. The pasta will absorb most of the water and there will be some olive oil, water, and garlic (sauce) in your bowl. Al Dente, moist and delicious.
    But I repeat! I’m sure this recipe is good too. Just not as good. 😉

  2. That’s my suburban Your using for add I didn’t give you permission to do that So cancel it out But if you want to buy it $3,750.00 That’s Trucks sale

  3. I live in southern Italy and you would be hard pressed to find this recipe on many menus. Maybe in a tourist town that is visited by Americans. It is not true all of Italy smothers every meal in garlic. The video does not look appetizing at all. Just my opinion. Grazie.

  4. Hopefully someone will see this….What are your thoughts with adding some small tomatoes quartered and adding some mushrooms to the garlic/oil sauce

    1. I tried this last week and felt the same way. Other than the red pepper, it was very bland.

      1. Make sure you season your pasta water well with salt. Otherwise the pasta is bland. Your pasta water should be as salty as sea water. Most people under season the water.

    2. use 5 garlics minced and the whole bunch of green onion (all of it including the green part) chopped up in about 1/4 inch of olive oil. Add corn oil for more oil, about 4 tbls. add black cracked pepper to taste. I put a lot. add at least 1 tbls salt to the oil and red pepper flakes to the oil. fry till golden brown on medium to hot. put a screen over the pan if you have one and add 3/4 cup of water very slowly. In fact, just put a teaspoon in to start, It will zizzle so stand back. after you cook pasta, (I use angel hair) pour the oil through a strainer back into the empty pot you used to boil pasta…put the pasta back in the oil and let it soak for 5 minutes. You’ll love it.

  5. Add a little salt to the oil and garlic while it is cooking and the water too. Use lots of garlic!! Toss with spaghetti and romano cheese!! Delicious!!!
