When it comes to finding an ethnic dish that is relatively easy to make, it can vary depending on personal cooking skills and preferences. However, there are some countries whose culinary traditions generally include dishes that are known for being simple and beginner-friendly.
One such country is Italy. Italian cuisine is known worldwide for its simplicity and use of fresh ingredients. From classic pasta dishes to rustic pizzas, there are numerous Italian recipes that are relatively easy to make. One popular and straightforward dish is spaghetti aglio e olio.
Here's a simple recipe for spaghetti aglio e olio:
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) of spaghetti
- 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) of extra virgin olive oil
- Red pepper flakes (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, and toss it well to coat the pasta evenly with the garlic-infused oil. Season with salt to taste.
4. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is heated through.
5. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
6. Serve the spaghetti aglio e olio hot, and if desired, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Remember, cooking times and ingredient quantities may vary based on your preferences and the intended number of servings. Don't hesitate to adjust the recipe to suit your needs.
Enjoy your cooking experience and sharing this delicious Italian dish with your class!
