I'm Italian and this recipe is perfect! But... I've a very good alternative: insteda of Parmisan you can toast some bread crumbs in a pan and put them in the pasta. Trust Me!
@@paulciaccio739 I'm with you ....NO cheese goes on this dish!!! I live in Rome for over 10 years! And I've learned that hard way...no cheese in this, please NO.
Another way to do it is putting your pasta directly into the pan where you've got your sauce, skip straining entirely, and then add half a cup to a full cup of the pasta water into it. This takes a little longer but as you boil out some of the water the starch in it will combine with your olive oil and garlic to make a really nice creamy consistency. Doing it this way is fine but I find it makes the sauce a little too thin.
It's easy to forget all the work that's behind making the different ingredients. To us, it may seem like an increadibly simple recipe. But theres so much work behind making the perfect parmesan cheese and some good quality olive oil. "Simple" dishes like this makes you appreciate that even more. One of my favorites! Good job, Donald.
@@donalskehan You donkey, this Italian dish does not have cheese. You should actually study Italian cooking before making a video. Do beans and toast, that you should understand.
@@Tujosax it's like saying there is only one way to make a burger... I don't see how people can be soo angry about people changing up dishes from certain countries...
Why do people get their panties in a twist about someone's cooking. Cooking is like painting, there's no right or wrong way. All the greatest chefs in the world got there by bending the rules and crossing bouderies. Get over yourselves.
also, D. ur videos are very entertaining, but in this video you drained the pasta onto a strainer in the sink which then steams everything ever put in the sink back onto the pasta because the pasta is sitting in the strainer with holes. germs and other flavors that might be mild but still there steam back onto the pasta from the sink. anyways why don't u teach people ur recipes but drain the pasta into a bigger clean pot in the sink and then u can pour the liquid back into the regular pot or keep it in the bigger pot either way to save the water and salt and to be use later to make pasta by adding more water or use the liquid in other dishes or in stock or stew. good luck. Donal, plz improve.
I think there's something missing in your comment. The greats who have pushed boundaries of any form of art did that by bending and breaking the rules, as you said. But they've been able to do that just because they knew the rules so well, better that anyone. That's the key to do something new. It applies to cooking too: in order to experiment and try new dishes you need to know all the basic flavors and simplest way of cooking. Maybe that's why italians and many others get mad: they feel people try to cook without knowing basic rules and ignoring traditition, and that's why we're so scheptical about the resuslts. Hope my message was clear. Cheers!
Just did this with ingredients straight out of Italy! My parents were on vacation there and brought a lot of stuff like pasta, olive oil and parmesan cheese. It was soooooo delicious, I enjoyed every second
I’m from Singapore and I just love this dish as it is super duper easy to prepare!! Plus, i will add alot like alottt of mozarella and parmesan even when I am pregnant, this is my to go meals!
well done mate! almost perfect! :) Only little thing I would suggest is to toss the pasta into the pan with the oil, and not into the pot. The thing is that you drain the pasta even earlier than al-dente, and then toss it into the oil, add a ladle of water, then throw in the parmesan and cook the pasta in there for a couple of minutes, flipping until the water is absorbed and the starch has made a cream with the oil. then add the parsley and serve. ;)
This or you can make "spaghetti" out of zucchini. I know it hasn't the taste of real pasta and every italian will go nuts, but i think this is a fairly good way to include this delicous recipe in a low-carb, high-fat diet.
Hi, The Zucchini spaghetti is terrific if don't think of it as pasta,just think of it as a vegetable dish. You can do a Alfredo sauce or a meat sauce or even a spicy puttanesca!:) Thanks.
The recipe is wrong. We don't use parmiggiano in pasta aglio e olio. If you like italian cousine I suggest you to check on yt italian chefs with english subtitles because this guy like much other is a swindler. And the most of italian cuisine use few ingredients, not just aglio e olio, check "cacio e pepe" or "burro e parmiggiano".
no recipe is a law..there is no "wrong way" in any recipe...i wish people who dont cook, would understand that and people who "claims" to cook would understand that also if it were true that recipes were a law, we'd all still be eating dinosaur meat..and there would only be 5 dishes known to man kind....well...maybe even less that 5 dishes LOL
if anyone was wondering ma’am this was so good i cooked a smaller portion and i added croutons when i served it but WOW and the parsley and chilli flakes add so much flavour
Poor italiens... they got almost nothin left but "their" food... Country is in huge depths, on the brink of collapse, unemployment rate is high, tourism is declining and for some italians even worse: they didnt qualify for the world championship in soccer 2018! (You just gotta love Sweden for this, right?) So i can understand that they defend "their" food, like a old hag clinging to her last tooth...
Stefano Carulli actually, im from germany but i have an asian background... so by proven and scientific fact, my ppl invented your beloved pasta! Get your facts straight, before you start insulting ppl *haha*
sera phim ahah you are so funny.. basicly everything excellence is italian... car, design, fashion, dress, art, culture.. yes you got wunster and beer over there.. congratulations hahahah
sera phim just to clarify, your people invented noodles, we invented pasta and still now we are the only country that created more than 50 different types of pasta. We always defended our food culture, even when we were the 4th stronger economy in the world. Finally, remember that any country with an ancient, big tradition in food, is proud to stand for it: you should now that because in Asia is the same. China, Japan, India, middle East, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal: all proud of their amazing food cultures. But how can you understand that, right? Germany is famous for the economy, but definitely not for the food.
I'm half Sicilian and half Irish do this is magnificent to see. Aglio Olio is my absolute pasta dish My Mom and all my aunts made this pasta. It was always heavenly.
Hi, this recipe is so simple and yet so tasty. I have added an Asian twist to your recipe. I added some deep fried shallots to mix with the spaghetti. OMG, it's so good ! Thank you so much for a wonderful and simple recipe. Greetings from Singapore.
When I used to work a closing shift that ended at midnight, I would always make this because if you time it right you can cook the whole thing in 15 min, and it's DELICIOUS. It's basically a garlic bread pasta.
Just make it exactly as he says 😀. That’s the perfect way. He is one of the guy who is has been rated by all those Italians and Mexicans towards making the best spaghetti!!! Making this for 3 years every week one time. My daughters eat it as I made it for the first time every time. Thank you Donal!!!
Coming from a Northern Italian family, Excellent!! Excellent!! Excellent!! Perfect !! The best type of spaghetti recipe in the world!! You can add just about anything in like, broccoli, shrimp, sausage etc !! Thank you for posting this!! Great job!!
literally one of my favorite pastas that I always love eating and it's not too hard to cook. I love the simple and flavorful taste this dish has. it has a nice salt flavor that isn't overpowering and it's pretty filling too.
I know what you mean, no lockdown here yet in Honolulu yet, the grocery store is open, so walked down Ala Moana Mall to Foodland and made this simple this. Easy and onolicious.
When cooking It's usually good to eyeball the recipe and adjust to taste, rather than measure everything exactly, although for baking bread or something that is a different story because you need to be more exact or it will puff up to much, be flatter, or any number of unwanted outcomes
This video got me out of an extended eating-out slump. Despite my abysmal cooking skills, I pulled this off and I'm even enjoying it as I type this comment. Thanks so much for putting together this video!
Add some lemon juice to take it to the next level. Also adding a tiny bit of oyster sauce adds umami. A couple of my PERSONAL preferences on an Italian classic.
Just made this and it was excellent. After draining the pasta water, I immediately put in some baby spinach and tossed. The residual heat would cook them just a little while retaining the nutrients. I also added a deboned chicken thigh for a complete one dish meal.
They are bigass pieces of garlic. Won't they scorch the tongue? A bite into garlic is bitter. That's why it gets grated or finely chopped.i am so hungry now.
WAAAAY more garlic! And I chop it roughly. Probably about 5 cloves. But then again, that's when I'm cooking 16oz of pasta. And yes. Freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano is mandatory! And OMG. It's to die for!!!
Looks absolutely scrumptious I love the addition of the chili flakes I think for myself I might add a few cherry tomatoes cut in half just to the plate not in the pot
This looks yummy, Donal! It's really funny to see many comments going "I'm Italian and you did a good job this time, but personally I would not add that though"
@@f-a6040 Then it's as much Italian as pizza from domino's. Sorry my heritage offends you. You can take Italian ingredients and make something new, and I encourage it. But don't maim what's already something important to people. It's no different than Gordan Ramsay mucking up Pad Thai, it's offensive.
@@WeAreClaves You don't have to eat someone else's "aglio e olio e formaggio" pasta. What they put in their own mouth and cook in their own house is up to them. People have been adjusting and modifying recipes to their own tastes for decades. The original aglio e olio is not going anywhere and no one is forcing you to change it. People are only offering variations ideas. You can take it or leave it. And whether or not an italian dish with an unconventional ingredient added to it could still be considered "italian" is irrelevant. People eat food for the taste and for their own preferences, not for the name of the dish.
This is simply delicious. I tried it at home and everyone loved it. It is such a simple recipe but delicious. Thank you Donald. Am learning how to cook by watching your videos.
I tried this at the moment, and guess what my husband and my mom love it soooooo much!!! Thank you so much for this, moving forward for your another pasta to cook
I put shrimps on top of mine plus a bit of fresh basil .... I just like playing with food, let's be honest. Love this cooking show, FiNALLY learned to make Irish Soda bread which is not actually a big deal and smells like heaven ......
I am Italian American from NY. My grandmas from Italy taught me to make this dish. It has been a staple all my life. Never ever use cheese on this dish. Everything else you did was wonderful.
I made your spaghetti aglio e olio (and added the Parmesian, like a REBEL!) and it was fantastic! First time I've been able to get this dish to work out right, thank you!
It's not ours. We like simplicity and fresh ingrdients. When people cook with low quality ingredients or dishes with 20 ingredients and call it "italian" we laugh at them. Especially when they put pasta, chicken and cream together lol. When strangers visit our country they go mad with our food, you can see tourists having multiple orgasms when they eat...So I really appreciated this video, it shows that a balanced dish is not just a sum of ingredients, but how you combine them and how you are able to exhalt their specific flavour.
Barbara Della Torre i will cook italian food the way i want and i'll skip/add the ingredients the way i like and still call it italian as long as it has pasta it's none of anyone business (including italians) ;)xxx
I love your recipe. Everytime I cook it I have to watch your vid first just to make sure I wont miss any. I always do a good job..family, friends & coworkers like it. Thanks a bunch!
I looked this up because Min Yoongi is always making this for the guys! Then Namjoon said yesterday he made it on his own! Yay Joon! Definitely gonna try! Wish I had exact amounts tho. Lol.
Good show, Donal! This is the first proper dinner I learned to cook, some 30+ years ago, and I still make mine exactly as you did. Served with a respectable dinner salad and a glass of wine, it is a meal impressive enough to earn a young bachelor an affectionate goodnight kiss. Thanx
Hey I am from India & I made it today with bread crumbs..... It was heavenly & so so easy ..... Loved it... Thanks for such a simple & authentic recipe... ❤️
First of, no doubt this will taste just fine, but there are two things that are not quite right: 1. traditional aglio e olio does not need cheese 2. you definitely need pasta water in your sauce Usually you would finish the pasta in the pan with the oil and garlic (take it out of the water before it is al dente), adding pasta water as needed. This firstly adds salt to the sauce and secondly creates an emulsion of the starchy water and the oil and thus makes the sauce much more creamy and so it will properly coat the noodles. You made up for the lost creaminess by adding melted cheese, which is fine I guess, but it's not actually what this recipe is about in my opinion.
romance698 If your spaghetti aglio e olio are dull without cheese, you didn't do it right! You can add all the cheese you want for all I care, but you will not change the fact that the original recipe does not have or need cheese.
@@romance698 pasta aglio olio e peperoncino doesn't have cheese in it! As someone has already said, if you make it properly it's tasty enough without the cheese.
i was skeptical about the part of just pouring the garlic oil into the pot of pasta without actually cooking the pasta with the oil over the stove. but wow i tried this recipe and its REALLY GOOD!!! 10/10 would recommend
Donal, you reserve some of the cooking water "if I needed". That water is extremely important to do the emulsion with the oil in the pan, to make it creamy. That is the basic to most of the simple pasta recipes. That's why I love our very simple recipes: because from there you can see who knows how to cook. So many you tubers, so many food channels, so many cooks and most of them get lost when is about basics. But of course, I'm just an annoying, angry, Italian right?
Ciao Donal! You did a pretty good job! Next time you could also try to infuse a whole red chilli in the oil along with the garlic, and them remove it! Buon appetito! :)
Just made this and it was awesome! How do you get your teenager to try something new? Tell her that THIS is the recipe that Yoongi and Namjoon made. ARMY!
I'm Italian and this recipe is perfect! But... I've a very good alternative: insteda of Parmisan you can toast some bread crumbs in a pan and put them in the pasta. Trust Me!
I like to add a spoonful of pinenuts to the oil/garlic mixture. Yummy!
Ma siamo impazziti?? Formaggio sull'aglio e olio????
Yeh, i think the Italians used breadcrumbs, when they couldn't afford cheese, right?
B Boni ooooo! That’s an interesting alternative. I’ll have to keep that in mind.
@@paulciaccio739 I'm with you ....NO cheese goes on this dish!!! I live in Rome for over 10 years! And I've learned that hard way...no cheese in this, please NO.
European: It’s so spicy
Asian: 😂

Another way to do it is putting your pasta directly into the pan where you've got your sauce, skip straining entirely, and then add half a cup to a full cup of the pasta water into it. This takes a little longer but as you boil out some of the water the starch in it will combine with your olive oil and garlic to make a really nice creamy consistency. Doing it this way is fine but I find it makes the sauce a little too thin.
sbagliato non fa fatto in questa ricetta, la pasta non deve lasciare amido.
That "5 table spoons" of olive oil is almost as much as Gordon Ramsay's "touch of olive oil"
Haha so true 😂
Lol 😂 looks more like 50 tablespoons 💚💸
he used half a cup of olive oil imo
Honestly, I've seen a lot of recipes call for a half cup of olive oil! It helps to make more of a sauce and to coat the pasta.
Well the oil is the sauce, you need a good bit, around a half cup or slightly more
Finally someone in a recipe who serves a generous amount of pasta on a dish. You can never have enough spaghetti :)

And whether or not an italian dish with an unconventional ingredient added to it could still be considered "italian" is irrelevant. People eat food for the taste and for their own preferences, not for the name of the dish.
This is simply delicious. I tried it at home and everyone loved it. It is such a simple recipe but delicious. Thank you Donald. Am learning how to cook by watching your videos.
Tried this today and it came out well. Everyone in family loved it.
I tried this at the moment, and guess what my husband and my mom love it soooooo much!!! Thank you so much for this, moving forward for your another pasta to cook
This is the BEST RECIPE for this spaghetti I've ever made. Thank you!
I just made this for dinner! Perfect for a Friday night, quick and delicious! I love the heat from the chilli flakes Donal! ♥
I put shrimps on top of mine plus a bit of fresh basil .... I just like playing with food, let's be honest. Love this cooking show, FiNALLY learned to make Irish Soda bread which is not actually a big deal and smells like heaven ......
I am Italian American from NY. My grandmas from Italy taught me to make this dish. It has been a staple all my life. Never ever use cheese on this dish. Everything else you did was wonderful.
It has been my go-to spaghetti recipe since I discovered it here 2 years ago. So good! Thank you!
I made your spaghetti aglio e olio (and added the Parmesian, like a REBEL!) and it was fantastic! First time I've been able to get this dish to work out right, thank you!
I make this all the time, my mom used to call this a depression meal. Love it. Simple.
Italians can be so prissy when it comes to cooking "their" food.
I'm sayin' nothin! ;)
+Donal Skehan 😉
It's not ours. We like simplicity and fresh ingrdients. When people cook with low quality ingredients or dishes with 20 ingredients and call it "italian" we laugh at them. Especially when they put pasta, chicken and cream together lol. When strangers visit our country they go mad with our food, you can see tourists having multiple orgasms when they eat...So I really appreciated this video, it shows that a balanced dish is not just a sum of ingredients, but how you combine them and how you are able to exhalt their specific flavour.
gobbi dimerda why pasta and cream and chicken is funny ?? (i'm kinda embarrassed) lol 😂😭
Barbara Della Torre i will cook italian food the way i want and i'll skip/add the ingredients the way i like and still call it italian as long as it has pasta it's none of anyone business (including italians) ;)xxx
We had this for supper tonight-I love it!!
Cooked it as shown, it was yummyyyyyyy. Thank you
I love your recipe. Everytime I cook it I have to watch your vid first just to make sure I wont miss any. I always do a good job..family, friends & coworkers like it. Thanks a bunch!
there are like 10 or 12 tbsp so far 😂
A GENEROUS glug and a bit! :)
He's eating for 2. 5-6 for him and the rest is for the lord. lol
1/2 cup is what I use.
I looked this up because Min Yoongi is always making this for the guys! Then Namjoon said yesterday he made it on his own! Yay Joon! Definitely gonna try!
Wish I had exact amounts tho. Lol.
Dallas Strawser ARMYYYY
@@md.afrozalmamun6368 Proud BTS ARMY, yes!!
And the pasta was tasty, btw.
same 😭 i came here after watching the last ep of in the soop and joon made this for the boys!! 💞
Lmao sameee
LMAO!! That's why I'm here too because he made it for the rest of the guys on in the Soop!! PURPLEARMY!!
Good show, Donal! This is the first proper dinner I learned to cook, some 30+ years ago, and I still make mine exactly as you did. Served with a respectable dinner salad and a glass of wine, it is a meal impressive enough to earn a young bachelor an affectionate goodnight kiss. Thanx
I love this recipe a lot. So simple and delicious.
very simple recipe and looks delicious !!! definitely I will try it!!!
You can put also things like artichokes, olives, dried tomatoes and avocado in and I promise you it is going to taste even better!
no no no
Xx Cxx or anchovies
Avocado? Stick it in your ass
It's always best to take a recipe and adapt it to how you like it so good for you 😊
I started off watching movie trailers and then NBA videos and then now I end up on a Spaghetti video and now I'm hungry.
Guess what >>>
*I came here because of Namjoon*
Zoey Pachuau SAMEEEE

Me too!!!!!
Zoey Pachuau came here looking for this comment😂
Hahaha we invade evrything
Hey I am from India & I made it today with bread crumbs..... It was heavenly & so so easy ..... Loved it... Thanks for such a simple & authentic recipe... ❤️
This was very visually pleasing to watch.... the pasta looked good too
First of, no doubt this will taste just fine, but there are two things that are not quite right:
1. traditional aglio e olio does not need cheese
2. you definitely need pasta water in your sauce
Usually you would finish the pasta in the pan with the oil and garlic (take it out of the water before it is al dente), adding pasta water as needed. This firstly adds salt to the sauce and secondly creates an emulsion of the starchy water and the oil and thus makes the sauce much more creamy and so it will properly coat the noodles. You made up for the lost creaminess by adding melted cheese, which is fine I guess, but it's not actually what this recipe is about in my opinion.
Why not to add cheese? It makes a dull plate of pasta much, much tastier. What is the matter with you?
romance698 If your spaghetti aglio e olio are dull without cheese, you didn't do it right!
You can add all the cheese you want for all I care, but you will not change the fact that the original recipe does not have or need cheese.
@@romance698 if you let it simmer down with enough starchy water it creates a creamy like sauce which is different then if you would just add cheese
Agree
@@romance698 pasta aglio olio e peperoncino doesn't have cheese in it! As someone has already said, if you make it properly it's tasty enough without the cheese.
made it at home. it was delicious. thanks for the recipe
I ran out of supplies and im making this for quarantine dinner 💀
Stay safe!
i was skeptical about the part of just pouring the garlic oil into the pot of pasta without actually cooking the pasta with the oil over the stove. but wow i tried this recipe and its REALLY GOOD!!! 10/10 would recommend
Dude you are objectively THE BEST COOK ON THE PLANET
Donal, you reserve some of the cooking water "if I needed". That water is extremely important to do the emulsion with the oil in the pan, to make it creamy. That is the basic to most of the simple pasta recipes. That's why I love our very simple recipes: because from there you can see who knows how to cook. So many you tubers, so many food channels, so many cooks and most of them get lost when is about basics. But of course, I'm just an annoying, angry, Italian right?
😂
Ciao Donal! You did a pretty good job! Next time you could also try to infuse a whole red chilli in the oil along with the garlic, and them remove it! Buon appetito! :)
nice tips! :)
Just made this and it was awesome! How do you get your teenager to try something new? Tell her that THIS is the recipe that Yoongi and Namjoon made. ARMY!
Armyyyy❤️
I have always wanted know the proper way to make this dish! Thank you. I am making this tonight!
Best. Pasta. Recipe. Ever! I could eat this every day!
melt a few anchovies in the oil with the garlic, the flavour will be greatly improved
bleh
4:00 in the morning, and I want to get up and make this right now! Will wait until breakfast if I can. Oh, yum! Thanks! Subscribing now!
Instead of chili flakes you could use regular chili peppers --> Spaghetti All'Aglio Olio E Peperoncino
good idea!
This tasted great! Definitely using olive oil instead of butter from now on. So much healthier too
Served their this recipes two days ago it was delicious. Yum yum
Did you try the recipes?
