How to Make Lemon Garlic Olive Oil Pasta
Cook the Pasta
Cook pasta in boiling salted water until it is still a little firm to the bite "al dente". Be sure to keep ½ cup of the pasta water before draining your pasta.
Prepare the Olive Oil Base
Redstone Extra Virgin Olive Oil should be heated on a low fire. Garlic is added and sautéed softly until one can feel the aroma and the garlic is just a little bit of golden in color.
Add Flavor
After that, some chili flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice are mixed together in the pan. The oil is not heated further, and everything is mixed well.
Combine the Pasta
Put the pasta you have just made together with some of the reserved pasta water. Mix well until the olive oil sauce has coated the pasta evenly.
Season & Serve
After that, a pinch of salt, some black pepper, and a little handful of fresh herbs are added. If you like, finish with parmesan cheese.
Chef’s Tip from Redstone
One of the most important things for conserving nutrients and aroma is that you should always cook with extra virgin olive oil at low or medium heat. Right before serving, if you let the Redstone Olive Oil drip over the food it not only tastes better but is fresher too.
