Ingredients
  1. ¾ cups extra-virgin olive oil
  2. ¼ pound unsalted butter
  3. 1 whole head of garlic, or at least 10 cloves, peeled, sliced thin across the grain
  4. Good quality salt
  5. 1 pound dried spaghetti
  6. 4 teaspoons of chile flakes
  7. A generous 1/2 cup of grated pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano
  8. Many, many cranks of the pepper mill
Instructions
  1. Bring large pot of water to a boil. When water simmers and is about to break to a roiling boil, place a 10-inch deep-sided sauté pan on low heat.
  2. Add the olive oil and butter and sliced garlic to the pan and let the butter melt, as the garlic begins to warm through. When the pasta water gets roiling, add salt to taste. (As always, like seawater.) Add the dry spaghetti. Add chile flakes to the warming garlic-oil mixture and swirl the pan a bit.
  3. Stir the spaghetti and make sure it is cooking evenly and the strands are separated. Swirl the garlic-chile-oil pan smoothly and frequently, and let the garlic soften and start to turn golden as the butter starts to foam and the chile blooms its heat and color into the oil. (On my stove, the burners run quite hot, so I keep it on low the whole time, but if your home burner is weak and you are not getting any foaming or toasting of the garlic by now, tap the heat up a half-step.) At 8 minutes, pull the pasta from the boiling water with tongs, let it briefly drip its excess water above the pasta pot, but then place it right into the garlic-chile-oil pan, letting the last drips of water go right into the sauce.
  4. Turn up the heat under the pasta now and stir vigorously, also tossing the pasta with short sturdy flicks of your wrist, for just about a minute, listening to the water hiss a little as it evaporates in the oil.
  5. Turn off the heat, add cheese and a lot of black pepper. Toss and distribute all the garlic and the cheese and the chile flakes using two forks like you are tossing a salad, making sure every bit is coated and luscious and on the edge even of greasy. (The amount of salt that I put in the pasta water, combined with the salt of the cheese, is enough for us. If you feel it needs it, season with a little more salt, according to your tastes.) Serve immediately.
Notes
  1. I haven't tried this yet, but it looks delicious!

Ingredients
  1. 6-7 ounces orzo
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 shallot- diced
  4. 3 garlic cloves- rough chopped
  5. 1 extra large bunch asparagus, tough ends removed, cut into 1 inch pieces.
  6. 1 cup snap peas
  7. ½- ¾ teaspoon salt and pepper ( see notes)
  8. 2 lemons ( or sub one lemon, with preserved lemon)
  9. ½ cup fresh dill
  10. crumbled feta ( optional)
Instructions
  1. Set salted water to boil and cook orzo according to directions.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped shallot and garlic, and stir frequently, saute until golden and fragrant.
  4. Add asparagus and snap peas. Saute 5-7 minutes stirring often, scooping up the shallot from the bottom of the pan. Add salt and pepper. Cook until asparagus it is bright green, and little a little crisp, cooked to al dente. The thinner the asparagus, the faster it will cook. Turn heat off. Add the zest of one lemon.
  5. Drain pasta and if serving warm, save a little of the hot pasta water. (For Chilled pasta, see notes below. )
  6. Add the warm orzo pasta to the skillet with the asparagus and just a little pasta water to loosen it up to your liking. Stir. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and finely chopped preserved lemon if using ( 1-2 tablespoons). Taste for salt and lemon. Add more if necessary or if it tastes bland. Fold in the fresh dill and sprinkle with optional feta ( keeping in mind that feta will add salt too). Serve immediately.
Notes
  1. If serving chilled, place the cooked asparagus mixture in a bowl and let it cool. Rinse the cooked orzo with very cold water until cold. Drain, add to bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil, generous squeeze of lemon juice, optional preserved lemon. Mix and adjust salt and lemon, adding more if bland. The pasta will soak up the salt when it sits in the fridge so it will probably need more later. Refrigerate – then taste once more before serving, again adjusting, adding more lemon and salt to taste. Fold in the fresh dill right before serving. Add crumbled feta.
