Pasta All'Olio e Aglio

Recipe courtesy of melbride2005

This is super easy and quick...and you can sauté chicken or shrimp pretty quickly and add it to the all'olio.

Serves 4

1 lb. pasta (any shape or kind you like)

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves (more if you like)...chopped

Crushed red pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped

Boil pasta until it is al dente.  Drain.  Heat pan and add oil after it's heated.  Add garlic and crushed red pepper.  At this point you can add chicken or shrimp if you want to...otherwise, add pasta to the pan BEFORE the garlic gets overcooked.  Toss together for less than a minute with the parsley.

Top with grated cheese and serve!
