Quick Garlic Pasta
When ever someone asks “what else can I do with this oil?” while talking about our best selling Garlic Infused Olive Oil, this is the recipe I always give them. Like we say…the Garlic oil is the “Gateway Oil”: it gets you addicted! Well then, this is the gateway recipe….easy enough to whip up on a weeknight after a long day, a total crowd favorite, and nice enough to serve to guests! the best thing is, this recipe works with pretty much any veggies you’ve got in the fridge. I used asparagus, broccoli and spinach but you can use almost anything!
3 Tablespoons Cucina Aurora Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (plus more for tossing pasta) 1 lb pasta (your choice – GF Works well) 1 cup chopped asparagus 1 cup chopped broccoli 2 lbs chopped white meat chicken *Optional 1 bag baby spinach Grated Parmesan cheese (as much or as little as you want)
In a large pot cook pasta to package instructions While pasta is cooking, heat 3 TBSP oil in a large skillet Add the chicken if using and sauté until cooked through. Add the asparagus and broccoli, sautéing until tender. Add the spinach and toss until it begins to wilt. Drain pasta and add to skillet tossing with chicken and veggies. Add more Garlic Oil if necessary. Remove to serving dish and toss with grated cheese. Top with more grated cheese if desired and serve immediately. ENJOY!
