Fresh Garlic EVOO

🍝 BJ Gourmet Fresh Garlic Pasta (Aglio e Olio Vibes)

This is a fast, minimalist, flavor-bomb pasta that tastes like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Perfect for weeknights or date night.

🧂 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 6 oz spaghetti or linguine
• 3–4 tbsp BJ Gourmet Fresh Garlic EVOO
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional but recommended)
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• 1–2 tbsp pasta water (to help coat the noodles)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino (optional but 🔥)

🍳 Instructions

1. Boil pasta in salted water until just al dente. Save a little pasta water before draining.
2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add your garlic-infused olive oil. (If you used the quick-heat version with garlic slices, you can toss a few in too!)
3. Add red pepper flakes (if using) and let them bloom for 30 seconds.
4. Toss in the drained pasta, plus a splash (1–2 tbsp) of pasta water to help it coat and shine.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until glossy and well coated.
6. Stir in fresh parsley and serve hot.
7. Top with grated cheese if you want a rich, savory finish.

 Optional Add-Ons:

• A squeeze of lemon juice or zest for brightness
• Toasted breadcrumbs for crunch
• Add shrimp, chicken, or roasted veggies
• A spoonful of candied jalapeños for a spicy-sweet twist 🔥
