Equipment
- deep pan with lid
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 6 pitted black olives sliced
- 4 oz dry spaghetti
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup pecorino cheese grated
- zest from 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil on low heat in a deep pan that is big enough to fit the length of dry pasta and has a lid. Add the minced garlic to the heated olive oil and cook for a minute
- Add in the cup of cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, dry spaghetti, water or broth. Increase the heat to high, put a lid on the pan and bring it to a boil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the pasta doesn't stick together
- Once most of the liquid has been absorbed, turn off the heat and stir in the pecorino cheese, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Divide into 2 bowls and serve immediately
