Pasta with garlic

Pasta with Garlic and Oil

This is one of the easiest and tastiest dishes imaginable and a wonderful way to experience the pure flavour of a new garlic variety. If you are comparing several varieties of garlic, cook each variety separately and toss with a portion of the pasta.

Slice garlic into thin, even slices - about three large cloves per person. Add enough good olive oil to almost cover the garlic. Sauté over medium heat until they begin to colour. Pour over freshly cooked spaghetti or noodles, toss and serve.

Variations to try once you have made your initial assessment of the garlic:

• Add dried chilies to the oil along with the garlic.
• Add a handful of fresh chopped herbs to the pasta and garlic as you toss it.
