Garlic Infused Noodles

Sides May 10th, 2007

My parents turned us on to this recipe and it is definitely a keeper. If you love garlic, you will love this recipe. Overall cook and prep time is only about 15 minutes, so sit back and enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 large head of garlic
1 bunch of mint
Fish Sauce
Olive Oil
Sesame Oil
White Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
2 Scallions
Chili Flakes
Angel Hair Pasta

GarlicBegin cooking your pasta. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil to medium heat. Peal and chop the head of garlic, yes, all of it. Once the oil is heated, add the garlic and cook just before it turn light brown. Overcooking the garlic will kill the dish as the garlic will become extremely bitter. Transfer the garlic and oil to a bowl, add 3TB of sesame oil to the garlic oil, and let cool.
In the meantime, finely chop the bell pepper, mint, and shallots. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse with cool water to prevent it from overcooking. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl and add the cooled infused garlic oil. Toss the noodles. Add 3TB of fish sauce, 1/4 tsp of white pepper, 1/4 tsp of chili flakes. Mix well. Now add the bell peppers, mint, and scallions, and toss well.

The flavors of this dish are amazing.
