I make spaghetti many ways…
here’s one..
Pasta With Olives…
If you love kalamata olives,
You’ll love this dish 😋
My Recipe:
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
4-5 cloves of garlic sliced
cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup of sliced mixed olives
(both Kalamata olives and green olives)
1/4 cup of pecorino Romano grating
cheese + more for plating.
1/3 - 1/2 pound spaghetti of your choice
1 - 1 1/2 cup of pasta water
Some basil leaves
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley + more for plating
Sauté the onion in the olive oil for several minutes,
Then add the garlic, when the onion and garlic are browned,
add black pepper, red pepper flakes, then stir in the olives
and sauté for a few more minutes on low…then add your
spaghetti with 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup pasta water, and add the grating cheese,
and the parsley and the basil…sauté everything together for a few
minutes …add more pasta water if necessary to moisten more…
Plate up pasta and drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil
and a more grating cheese, parsley, and basil leaves…Enjoy!
Note: I didn’t add salt as the olives and grating cheese and pasta water
are salty …taste it before plating and add salt if you think it’s necessary.
