Answers: How do I make Aglio e Olio, Vodka Pasta, and Pesto Pasta?

• Aglio e Olio pasta
• Vodka pasta recipe
• Pesto pasta with blender and hand-chopped methods

Ingredients

• 7 cloves (plus 5 cloves for pesto) garlic
• 1 bundle (about 1 cup leaves) fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 pound spaghetti
• kosher salt
• 1/3 cup (plus more for pesto and tossing) extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon dried chili flakes
• 1 pound rigatoni
• 1 shallot
• 3 tablespoons gochujang
• 1/2 cup tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon vodka
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (plus 1/4 cup) Pecorino Romano
• 1/2 cup spinach
• 2 cups fresh basil
• 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
• 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
• 1 pound farfalle

What it concludes

• Slicing garlic instead of finely chopping it makes the flavor tender, delicate, and sweet rather than aggressive.
• Cooking gochujang and tomato paste together in olive oil caramelizes the natural sugars and deepens the overall flavor.
• Using a blender or hand-chopping method allows you to make fresh pesto easily even without a food processor or mortar and pestle.
