# Fresh Pasta Aglio e Olio

Italian recipe from Chef Jason McKinney, about an hour and 15 minutes, serves about 2.

Slice the garlic thin and cook it low in olive oil until it’s barely golden — one shade past and it turns bitter.

- Total time: about an hour and 15 minutes (estimated)
- Hands-on: about 50 minutes
- Serves: about 2
- Level: Medium
- Cuisine: Italian
- Note: Includes a 30-minute pasta dough rest

## Ingredients

- 1¼ cups 00 flour
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- truffle carpaccio, to taste
- 1 ounce Parmesan
- truffle salt or flaky sea salt, to taste
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ bunch parsley
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Kosher salt, to taste
- ½ cup of dry white wine

## Method

1. Fill a large pot with water, cover, and place on the stove on low heat. Set aside ½ cup flour for your “bench flour.” Lay the remaining flour on your counter and make a well in the center. Add the egg yolks, whole egg, and olive oil. Whisk the eggs and oil together with a fork until combined.
2. Using your index finger like a dough hook, mix the eggs and oil into the flour until shaggy. Knead the dough until smooth, about 5–8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest. Chop half of the truffle carpaccio.
3. Peel and slice the garlic. Chop the parsley. Grate the cheese. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it’s thin enough to read a piece of paper through it. Cut the dough into your desired pasta shape.
4. Lightly season the boiling water with kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes. Strain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta’s cooking water.
5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to your saute pan and set over medium-low heat. Sweat the garlic until soft, then stir in the chili flake and black pepper. Add the wine (optional) and reserved pasta water and bring to a boil, reducing slightly.
6. Toss in the pasta and Parmesan. Mix until the pasta reaches your desired consistency. Top with the parsley and truffle carpaccio! Enjoy to the fullest! :)
