Garlic Fettuccine: An Italian Delight with Brazilian Flavor

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Controlling the heat when frying the garlic in olive oil prevents it from burning and imparting bitterness to the sauce. - The starch-rich cooking water emulsifies with the hot olive oil, ensuring perfect adherence to the strands. - The fettuccine should be removed al dente to finish cooking directly in the heat of the skillet.

Ingredients

  • 400g fettuccine
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil

Chef Tips

- Slice the garlic evenly so all slices brown uniformly in olive oil over medium-low heat. - Start the garlic with cold olive oil in the skillet so the aromas are extracted in a smooth and progressive way. - Add half a ladle of pasta water vigorously to the skillet to obtain the characteristic creamy consistency.

Variations

- Add thin slices of deseeded chili pepper along with the garlic for a spicy version. - Add Sicilian lemon zest at the moment of serving to bring citrus freshness to the pasta strands. - Sprinkle breadcrumbs toasted in olive oil over the dishes to create a crunchy contrast.

Substitutions

- The fettuccine can be swapped for spaghetti or durum wheat linguine maintaining the same cooking time. - Freshly grated parmesan cheese can be replaced with finely grated pecorino romano. - Parsley can be replaced by fresh basil leaves added off the heat.

How to Store

Consume immediately to enjoy the perfect emulsion. Leftovers last 2 days in the refrigerator in a closed container and should be reheated in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of hot water.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze this ready-made dough, as the fettuccine loses its firm texture and the olive oil separates from the strands during thawing. The dish requires immediate preparation and consumption.

What to Serve With

Serve with hard-crust Italian bread to dip in the flavored olive oil, arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, and a glass of dry white wine to balance the palate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does garlic get bitter easily?

Garlic has a high sugar content that burns quickly if the olive oil is too hot; always brown over low heat until a light straw tone.

What is the function of the pasta cooking water in the sauce?

The starch dispersed in the hot water acts as a natural binding agent, joining the water and olive oil into a velvety emulsion that coats the strands.

Can I use industrialized crushed garlic?

It is not indicated, as processed garlic with preservatives releases a lot of water, splashes in hot oil, and does not reach the crispiness of fresh minced garlic.

How much salt should I put in the pasta water?

Use about 10 grams (a shallow tablespoon) of salt for each liter of boiling water before dipping the fettuccine.
