In this riff on the classic spaghetti aglio e olio (spaghetti with garlic and olive oil), green garlic replaces the traditional pungent cloves and lends a more delicate garlic flavor.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan over low heat. Add the green garlic and 2 big pinches of salt; stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Boil the spaghetti until just al dente, about 1 minute less than package timing. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.
Return the sauté pan to low heat. Add the spaghetti and 1/4 cup of the cooking water; toss well. Add the Parmigiano and 2 Tbs. of the water; toss again. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding the remaining water if the pasta seems dry. Serve in heated pasta bowls, sprinkled with additional Parmigiano.
Garlic scapes are not easy for me to come by, but garlic chives are easy to grow and make a good substitution. Super simple and delicious.
I added pine nuts it was so delicious!! 5 BIG STARS
This is so simple but so good...
This dish was easy to make and delicious to eat however I used a leek to replace the green garlic since it is currently out of season. I look forward to making this recipe again in the spring when the green garlic is in season.
