This is a really easy and basic pasta recipe that takes just a few minutes to make. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
Don’t skimp on the garlic or parmesan for this, or you’ll short-change the dish’s flavor.
What you’ll need
- Whatever shape you like of uncooked pasta, 4 oz per person
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (per two servings)
- 3-oz tin smoked oysters, including the packing oil (per two servings)
- 0.25t red pepper flakes (per two servings)
- Shaved parmesan cheese (1T per serving)
What to do
Begin cooking the pasta whatever way you usually cook it.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the oysters: add a little oil from the oyster tin to a medium frypan over low-medium heat. Sauté the garlic for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Set aside off the heat.
Drain the pasta when it’s finished; set it aside. Reheat the frypan over medium heat and add the oysters and any remaining oil. If the tin didn’t have enough packing oil you can add a bit of olive oil to the frypan. Heat up the oil and oysters for a couple of minutes before adding the pasta. Toss the pasta in the oil with about a third of the parmesan. Cook for about 1 more minute. Plate the pasta and oysters, topping with some red pepper flakes and shaved parmesan. Serve hot.
