5 pastas on the table in 10 minutes
1. Spaghetti aglio e olio (e pepperoncino)
If you use dried peppers or chilli flakes, you definitely have all the ingredients at home for this classic. Gently fry garlic cut into wafer-thin slices in olive oil with some salt and pepper, then toss it through the spaghetti with some extra olive oil. For extra flavour, you can add a small knob of butter. This is the best recipe for aglio olio.
2. Spaghetti with crispy breadcrumbs
The pride of Sicily, where they are known for their delicious anchovies. The little fish gives the dish a rich flavour, and I have never come across crispy garlic breadcrumbs that I didn’t like. With this recipe for pasta with crispy breadcrumbs, you’re all set!
3. Pasta carbonara
The ultimate comfort food. The quickest option is tinned spaghetti carbonara (seriously, it exists!). But of course, you’re going for the real deal. Still quick. The egg in this lightning-fast meal immediately creates a luxurious feeling, all while putting dinner on the table within 10 minutes. We absolutely love this spaghetti carbonara by Robert Kranenborg. Gordon Ramsay’s quick spaghetti carbonara is also excellent.
4. Vongole
You’ll need to make a quick trip to the fishmonger, but then you’ll have enough spaghetti vongole to feed an orphanage. Steam the vongole until cooked in just a few minutes and they’ll release a wonderfully briny flavour. Deglaze with white wine and your spaghetti is ready. Former FavorFlav contributor Emma de Thouars shares her recipe for the most delicious spaghetti vongole.
5. Puttanesca
The ultimate pantry dish with anchovies and tinned tomatoes, and you probably have a jar of capers somewhere too. All those bold flavours make this quick meal far more flavourful than you’d expect from such a speedy dish. Here’s how to make pasta puttanesca.
