Pasta Agleoattolio (Aglio Et Olio)

One of my original Ghetto cookery classics! Such a quick, easy but flavorful dish! I started cooking this because I found that all I had left in the days before payday often times were a half box of pasta and a bottle of oil way back in the cabinet. Easy to learn, hard to master! Impress your friends with your skills without really using any! Plus it's a delish meatless dish if you should come across a moment in life that would come in handy for you. Also one of the few dishes I've found an actual purpose for garlic salt 😀- enjoy!

Steps
- 1
Boil your pasta to package directions.
Drain.
Transfer from pot to a bowl. - 2
Using the same pot, pour in your olive oil, Italian dressing and garlic. Add a quick dash of water from faucet.
Heat on low till it starts moving. Keep the liquid constantly moving, it'll burn quick! We don't want that!
Add your butter, garlic salt and almost all the oregano while still keeping the liquid moving. ((TIP: oregano is key to this dish. If you're looking at it thinking "maybe that's too much oregano", add a pinch more...))
If anything starts turning brown, you burnt it.
Total time for this step should only be like 5 minutes MAX after it starts simmering. Probably even less. - 3
Remove from heat.
Return your pasta to the pot with the oil/butter mixture.
Using your spoon, mix together well. I usually tilt the pot a bit and stir the pasta through the liquid in a circular motion till all the pasta is coated.The amount of liquid is the tricky part of this dish. If there's too much you'll have an oily, gross, bland mess. Too little and it'll be a dry sticky mess.

Transfer pasta to a bowl/s. Sprinkle the rest of the oregano directly onto the pasta. I do this for a little extra blast of flavor. Then top with a healthy amount of Parmesan cheese, a bit of black pepper and you're done!
Manja!
