Ingredients


  • Kosher salt, to taste, plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 lemon, zested
  • Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

 

Preparation

Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente, tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.

While the pasta cooks, combine the garlic, olive oil, the 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes in a large skillet and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and turns golden, about 8 minutes.

Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, reserving about a 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved water to the garlic mixture. Mix well. Add the parsley and lemon zest (if using). Adjust seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl or divide amongst 4 to 6 dishes. Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.

  • ½ medium watermelon
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 Tbsp House Olive Oil

Slice the watermelon and remove the rind, trimming away the pale flesh adjacent to the rind,

In a glass bowl, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and whisk until combined.

Tapenade is wonderful as a spread on bread and as a condiment for grilled fish, meat and poultry.

Ingredients


1 cup pitted black olives
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced yellow onion
4 anchovy filets
1 teaspoon capers
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Organic Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

 

Preparation

Place the olives, garlic, onion, anchovies, capers, thyme and cayenne in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the olives are broken down but the mixture is still chunky.
With machine running, pour the olive oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream.  Process until the mixture is finely chopped and even in texture but not completely puréed.  Add the lemon juice and stir.  The tapenade keeps, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 week.
