alanv73: Damn… I watched this all the way to the end waiting for them to add the squid… I think I might have a brain lesion.
Skin969: Its like a cheats version of that delicous pasta from chef. I want it.
Edit: Pasta Aglio e Olio, its not a cheats version its just straight up that dish.
Zet_x: If I do this, there is no way I am not adding 300gr of cheese.
Venoshock: Ugh. I love this dish
Twokindsofpeople: I didn’t even see one squid in there
Pitta_: Aglio e olio!!! I love this dish, it’s delicious, and this looks like a great recipe. I usually add a drop of lemon juice or a bit of zest, and a heap of parm on top. also the parsley is 100% necessary, it really makes it fresh and green. it tastes really flat without it. the red pepper flakes add a nice heat, and a good olive oil is essential. the dish is sooo simple, you really need each component or it just isn’t quite right.
I usually do it with angel hair cause i’m a heathen but this is seriously so good, and takes only as long to make as it takes your pasta to cook.
you can also sneak some spinach in there if you want to add some veg, without altering the flavor too much. also not bad with broccoli (sautee the brocc for a minute w/ the garlic and olive oil). also if you use brocc chop it up into rice grain sized pieces or use a bigger pasta shape like ziti that won’t break when al mixed together.
eksyneet: needs acid. squeeze a lemon in there and it might taste good.
kickso: Something a bit different from us. The quickest, cheapest, most delicious pasta recipe there is.
### Notes:
More parsley the better. The pasta water is the key ingredient here.

KurtWagnerX: The mistake I make in cooking like this is to only use part of the fresh herbs, then forget about the rest and let it spoil in the fridge, which doesn’t help you much if your main draw to this recipe is that it’s inexpensive.
Parsley is so mild, though, that it can be added to lots of dishes even if I didn’t have the sense to plan ahead.
scrubasorous: I make this all the time and will tell you that the parsley is a waste. It never adds a good flavor to the dish for me. Its just there to make it a little green
PippenDinnerTable: Salt?
anniemehtaa: My mom makes this but adds a can of anchovies… it’s called “Midnight Pasta” according to The NY Times and it’s a bit different but this reminded me of it!
StraightBad: What is the point of the pasta water
hazelnutbutter: How on earth does this cost as much as £3?
5nitch: What if I fucking hate parsley? I have that thing where it makes my tastebuds react like it’s soap.
Is there another herb substitute you guys recommend?
RoRo25: All the olive oil is gonna add up though.
yoleyne: So basically….pasta aglio e olio without the lemon.
gfm1214: No salt?
idgaf_about_yr_imgur: Turn the heat off- let it cool a little – throwa scrambled egg / grated Parmesan mixture in – this will be a million times more delicious.
ZVAZ: Looks good… but if you gotta by another bottle of olive oil you definitely break your budget. Please don’t call this spaghetti though.
youshallcallmebetty: No salt or pepper?
zaggin187: 3 dollars of ramen is a whole lot… Good prison recipes to try!
ChickWithPlants: If you’re looking for an equally inexpensive dish that’s more flavorful, I love this one:

Vegetable_Burrito: Lemon. Lemon. 🍋 🍋 🍋 squeeze some lemon on there!

gilgasmashglass: My favorite dish (if cooked right). I usually add a dash of fish sauce to it to get a stronger taste. Add lemon and we are good to go. I usually prefer spaghetti noodles over angel hair but angel hair works fine with this dish. Just need to cook the noodles jusssst right (like al dente).
GMRealTalk: I don’t believe this is a main course. I often make this as a side or pasta course for a a pan fried protein, like sausages or veal cutlets.
pm_measians: is this serious? fucking white people..
duetmasaki: Ah, you lost me at chili flakes.
sjoy512: Salt
