Thanks for watching!

What’s going on everyone and welcome to the channel my name is jack and i’m a chef by trade and my whole purpose for this channel is to give you 100 confidence in the kitchen as well as teach you absolutely everything i know so in this one we’re going to be making

A leo iolio which is a bit of a tongue twister i know but it literally translates to garlic and oil this recipe is so fresh so easy to make and tastes so good please sit back relax and enjoy all right guys let’s start this off with six cloves of freshly peeled garlic and

All we’re going to do is slice them as thin as we can get them for this recipe we don’t want to overpower it with garlic so slicing them like this won’t release as much allicin which is the compound which gives garlic its strong potent flavor for the next ingredient here is a

Quarter of a bunch or 10 grams of flat leaf parsley and with this we’re just going to scrunch it up into a nice tight bunch to make it easier to chop we can then grab a really sharp knife and chop this up as fine as we can and

You don’t have to chop it up super fine but i do find it’s better for flavor as we don’t want the pasta to be overpowered by the parsley if there is to be any big leaves throughout it now to cook some spaghetti place a medium to large size saucepan filled

Half full with water onto your stovetop over a high heat then season the water with one and a half tablespoons of sea salt flakes and bring the water to a boil once boiling we can then add in 300 grams or 10.5 ounces of spaghetti and

Allow it to sit half out of the water for 15 to 20 seconds to soften it which will make it easier to twist into the water once we have it fully submerged in the boiling water we then want to cook this about 75 of the way through which will

Be two minutes less than what your packet instructions state so in my case instead of cooking this for nine minutes i’m going to cook it for seven minutes in the meantime place a large heavy based skillet onto your stovetop over a high heat and straight away pour in one

Third of a cup or 80 milliliters of high quality olive oil into the cold pan to this we can chuck in our thinly sliced garlic cloves to create a cold infusion and gently stir the garlic continuously through the oil just until it starts to sizzle once we have some sizzling

Happening this is where we need to be really careful as we don’t want the garlic to brown so what we want to do is continue mixing it the whole time for roughly one minute or just until you see the tiniest bit of color occurring on the garlic

Once you start to see the slightest bit of color on the garlic and the pasta is cooked 75 of the way through spoon or ladle out half a cup or 120 milliliters of the pasta water and very carefully add it to the oil and garlic with this

You’ll notice it will bubble away quite vigorously to which we’re going to allow it to do so for 30 seconds to create an emulsion between the water and the oil after 30 seconds we can proceed by adding in the spaghetti also bringing along some more of that water and don’t

Worry about it being too watery as the spaghetti will soak it up along with the oil giving our spaghetti a beautiful glossy look and saucy texture once that’s done we can then turn this off the heat and add in one teaspoon or one gram of dried chili flakes for a

Nice mild kick and then give this a really good mix coating the spaghetti in the oil and water emulsion to get it nice and glossy and to evenly disperse the chili flakes we can then add in half a teaspoon or a small pinch of sea salt flakes one

Teaspoon or 10 cracks of black pepper and finally we can add in that chopped flat leaf parsley we can then give this another thorough mix making sure that everything is well distributed through the spaghetti which we can then remove from the stovetop and gently twist into our serving bowls for

Greater presentation you can spiral the spaghetti around a carving fork but i don’t own one so twisting it in is close enough and then this leads us to the part that makes this all worth it which is that we can then dig in you seriously have to try this one the

Simplicity of the ingredients just makes them taste so fresh and so tasty this recipe is perfect size for two people and can easily be double tripled and so on and to store this we can place this in an airtight container in the fridge where it will last up to three days or

We can place it in the freezer in an airtight container where it will last up to three months to reheat it we can place it in a skillet back over a medium heat add a splash of oil to get things moving around again and then just heat it up

Until it’s nice and hot or you can chuck it in the microwave for a minute or two just do whatever’s easier for you i really hope you enjoyed this video and i was able to teach you something if you did be sure to smash that like button and consider subscribing to see hundreds
