Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups water
- 250 gm. spaghetti (8.8 oz.)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley)
Instructions
- Set a large pot over low heat. Add oil + garlic. Stir-saute them in low heat (this helps infuse garlic flavor into the oil) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Add salt + water + spaghetti. Gently separate the spaghetti using a spatula so they don't glue/stick together. Turn up the heat to high and bring it to a boil (2-3 minutes).
- As the water starts to boil and spaghetti starts to soften, stir-cook continuously for 7-9 minutes or until it's just al dente. This process emulsifies the starch and oil with water which creates the sauce.
- Turn down the heat to medium. Add smoked paprika + pepper + nutritional yeast + lemon juice. Mix well and stir-cook for about 30 seconds.
- Turn off the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley) and mix some more.
- Transfer to serving bowl(s) and serve hot.
