Aglio e olio translates to “garlic and oil,” which is the basis of this classic Neapolitan pasta dish. This version of the pasta remains simple, but we wake the flavors up a bit with fresh lemon, an aromatic Tuscan salt blend, and a bit of fresh parsley. Aglio e olio requires so few ingredients, so the quality of the dish is dependent on the quality of the ingredients; this is the time to use a great olive oil.

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions, about 9 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil and heat for about 1 minute. Add the garlic to the oil and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. If using, add the calabrian chili paste. Add the Tuscan salt and cook for roughly 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring to combine, and turn off the heat.
Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add directly to the skillet with the oil. Add the lemon juice and 2/3 cup pasta water and toss well to coat the pasta and form a creamy sauce. Taste the sauce and add more Tuscan salt if needed. Top with fresh chopped parsley, if using, and serve.
