00:01Macaroni aglio e aglottolio may be the easiest macaroni recipe.
00:05You can't miss it. You have to make it at home and you can see how it turns out.
00:09Look at that toasty touch, that toasted finish.
00:12How can something so simple taste so good?
00:15Well, I don't know. That toasty touch is just wonderful.
00:19And me? I'll try it.
00:23Delicious. Pure wonder.
00:26If you try them, you'll fall in love.
00:29So, to the kitchen.
00:31Well, the recipe I'm bringing you today might be the easiest pasta recipe you'll ever come across.
00:36Aglio e olio. So stay until the end.
00:40You're going to like it.
00:41And I'm going to tell you the 5 little tricks so you can make it even better than the Italians
00:45who invented it.
00:49The first trick has to do with the pasta.
00:52Jose Andres taught it to me.
00:53And it's that if you toast it a little bit first, with a little olive oil, the result is much
01:01better.
01:01You can't even imagine.
01:04In go our macaroni and we're going to give them a spin.
01:07We're going to toast them for 2 minutes.
01:09And that's enough.
01:12I'm going to make this recipe with macaroni.
01:15It couldn't be easier.
01:16But you can use whichever one you want.
01:19Maybe the classic is, with spaghetti.
01:22But tagliatelle, rigatoni, whatever you want, will work.
01:26Any pasta works.
01:28You don't need to wash the pan.
01:30We're going to use it again later.
01:32As soon as you have them, set them aside on a little plate, a bowl, or whatever you want.
01:38And go to the pot, half filled with water.
01:41Plenty of water.
01:42And a tablespoon of salt.
01:46Wait until the water is at a full boil.
01:48And add your toasted macaroni.
01:50You're going to leave them in for as long as the package directions say, 30 seconds less.
01:56Just like the trick says.
01:58The time?
01:59You have to let the pasta cook for 30 seconds less than the time on the package.
02:04Because then we'll give it a stir and that way it will turn out perfect.
02:08Alright, the water is boiling.
02:10So in goes our pasta.
02:12We're going to leave it here.
02:13In my case, it's 12 minutes, so 11 and a half minutes.
02:17Such a short time for something so wonderful.
02:19As soon as the macaroni are well cooked, we drain them and set them aside.
02:24So here we are with the garlic.
02:26We need a good amount.
02:27At least 12 a whole head.
02:29And a bit more.
02:31This is the aglio.
02:33Fantastic.
02:34Look.
02:35Here's a little trick to peel garlic.
02:37You split them in half.
02:38And then pull like this.
02:40Cutting a little piece of the end.
02:41And they peel super easily.
02:43A great trick for you.
02:45An extra.
02:45Besides the five.
02:48As soon as you have all the garlic peeled, we'll start chopping.
02:53And now let's get to the pan.
02:55A generous splash of olive oil.
02:57Here we go.
02:58And here we add the garlic and brown it.
03:02We're going to use medium high heat and do it quickly because we don't want our macaroni
03:07to end up mushy.
03:08So, let's get to it.
03:11You need a lot.
03:12But the trick is to get them nicely browned.
03:15If you don't brown them enough, this recipe will be a total flop.
03:21The fourth trick is with the chili peppers.
03:25With the cayenne peppers.
03:26Crush them.
03:27They turn out much better in small pieces.
03:30Spread throughout the mixture.
03:32Don't throw them in whole man.
03:35You can add as many as you want, but don't hold back.
03:38Because otherwise the dish will lose all its punch.
03:41And using the little trick, you can crumble them, mash them, or chop them.
03:46Whatever you want.
03:48The garlic is starting to brown, so in go our cayenne peppers.
03:52Give it a stir, but don't overdo it.
03:54This only takes about 10 seconds.
04:00Now our garlic is nicely browned, so we add our macaroni and give it a good stir, so everything
04:06mixes together really well.
04:11And after stirring, let's add our herbs.
04:15A good touch of oregano.
04:17And that's it.
04:18Stir it up.
04:19And this step is done.
04:22The fifth and final trick.
04:24Do you have everything ready?
04:25Well, not yet.
04:27Give it a stir.
04:28Wait.
04:2930 seconds.
04:30Stir it again.
04:3330 seconds.
04:34And the third stir.
04:35There you go.
04:36It will have lost some of its heat.
04:38And that fantastic oil will have come together with the macaroni, and it will turn out much
04:44better.
04:45Everything comes together much better.
04:46Everything is much tastier.
04:48See how easy it is?
04:49Done.
04:50Let's plate it up and get it to the table.
04:52What a show.
04:54Macaroni aglio e olio.
04:56Maybe the easiest macaroni recipe.
04:58You can't miss it.
05:00You have to make it at home.
05:01And you can see how it turns out.
05:03Look at that browning.
05:04That toasted finish.
05:05Pure wonder.
05:07If you try them, you'll fall in love.
05:09So, to the kitchen.
05:11Apron on.
05:12And let's get to it.
05:14I love this recipe.
05:16I love this recipe.
05:16They turn out super good.
05:17And in just 5 minutes, you have lunch or dinner ready.
05:21What more could you want?
05:23Just like that.
05:24Who can beat that?
05:26How can something so simple taste so good?
05:29I don't know.
05:30That toasted finish works wonders.
05:32And me?
05:33I'll try it.
05:36Delicious.
05:38I'll try it.
05:41I'll try it.
05:41I'll try it.
05:46I'll try it.
