Aglio e Olio: 

4 cloves minced garlic

chopped parsley

Salt and boil our pasta. Save a cup of pasta water before you drain it and now we make the sauce. 

In a frying pan that’s large enough to hold all the spaghetti later, drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil and let it get shimmery on medium heat. I’ll add all the garlic in and let it cook in a single layer, just until the slivers get golden brown. If you want this a little spicy, you can also add some chili flakes too. So once it looks how you want it and the garlic is nice and fragrant, we’ll add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to stop the frying, and it’ll get the garlic nice and soft and create a sauce that will cling to our pasta.  

Once the sauce has reduced a bit, we’ll add our cooked pasta in, along with ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, our parsley. Turn off the heat and mix mix mix. Now we just simply plate and enjoy the pasta either as a side or a main.

Pasta Al Tonno - 

I have some cherry tomatoes, about 1 cup of it to help with the sauce. Just slice it in half and set aside. Now to get cooking, we’ll drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, add some crushed garlic, and our cherry tomatoes. I’ll let them sizzle up and cook for a few minutes and then we’ll add our canned tuna, some chili flakes if you want it spicy, 2 tablespoons of your favorite marinara, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. 

add a little bit of pasta water and your cooked pasta. I’m using rigatoni this time because the tuna gets into the tube and you get everything in one bite. Let it all simmer for a few minutes and then we plate. Sprinkle it with some fresh basil
