Spaghettini Verdi (Italy)


  • 0,88 LBS spaghettini (thin spaghetti) pasta
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (or Grana Padano)


Put water in a large pot and let it boil. When the water boils, add salt and cook spaghettini pasta (according to package instructions).

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small pan and add the finely chopped garlic. Sauté over low heat until the garlic is lightly browned. The garlic should not burn, so watch carefully.

When the garlic is browned, add finely chopped parsley and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn off the heat.

When the spaghettini pasta is thoroughly boiled, drain it and add it to the pan. Mix well with butter, garlic and parsley sauce and cook over low heat for another 1-2 minutes.

When serving, sprinkle grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top and stir.

Tips

You can achieve the best results by keeping the following tips in mind when preparing spaghettini verdant:

Pasta quality: If possible, use spaghettini (thin spaghetti) pasta from a quality brand. This significantly affects the flavor and texture of the dish.

Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta for a little less than the time indicated on the package to get it al dente. This ensures that the pasta does not become too soft when mixed with the sauce in the pan.

Fry the garlic carefully: Be careful when frying the garlic over low heat, as burnt garlic can leave a bitter taste. Saute the garlic until lightly browned, then add the parsley.

Use fresh parsley: Fresh parsley adds vibrant color and fresh flavor to your spaghettini dish. Instead of using dried parsley, choose fresh parsley.

Adjust salt and pepper: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Because Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is salty, be careful when adding salt.

Cheese selection: If you can't find Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, you can use a similar hard Italian cheese such as Grana Padano. It is important that the cheese is freshly grated as this provides a better flavor and texture.

Consistency of the sauce: If the sauce seems too dry, you can get a better consistency by adding a little water or pasta water.

Serve quickly: It is important to serve spaghettini hot because butter can lose its consistency as it cools. Once the pasta and sauce are mixed, serve quickly and sprinkle with grated cheese.

By applying these tips, you can make your spaghettini dish more delicious and successful.
