Super easy to make delicious pasta: 1.5 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp colatura, 2 cloves minced garlic, a bit of dried pepper flakes, a handful of parsley, 120 g pasta. Cook pasta, mix ingredients in a bowl, combine while hot. No need to cook the sauce!
- swimfar 11y agoWhere do you buy your colatura? The prices I see online are about $30 for a 100ml bottle. That comes out to $4.50 for the single tablespoon (15ml) in your recipe. Exorbitant may be too strong of a word, but that seems like a lot of money. (I'll have to try out that recipe regardless. :) ) edit: I see a bottle for $15 as well, which makes it a bit more reasonable.
- archagon 11y agoThe one bottle I have I bought in Italy, I'm afraid. :) But yeah, the Amazon 100ml-for-$15 price seems quite reasonable. I might not be using full tablespoons either because my colatura of the same size has definitely lasted me more than 7 servings. (I'm guessing it'll end up being closer to 10-15.) PS the parsley should be chopped Italian parsley. Some recipes also involve a bit of lemon zest.
