This week, for my twenty percent project I taught
my little brother how to make something that I had learned in my culinary class
from Chef Bob. The food is called Ali Olio. It pretty much turned out to be
garlic spaghetti.
The first thing I had my brother do was to watch me
make it. I had him sit there while I demonstrated step by step how to do it. On
one part, you literally set the ingredients in the pan on fire, and as I had a
difficult job of doing this, I decided I would do it for my brother so he
wouldn't burn the house down. After I finished, I had him try it. Then it was
his turn to do it.
The first thing he did was set a pot of water to
boil for the noodles. While that went, he chopped garlic, onion, and dried chilies.
Then he opened the chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, butter, and the marinara
sauce. Next, he cooked the noodles till they were done, strained out the
noodles, but kept the water in the pot. Then, he put the pan on the burner and
heated it on high heat. The pan got pretty hot, and he put the oil, garlic,
onions, and chilies in the pan. That's when I took over for a couple of seconds
and set the mixture up in a blaze. After it went down, he added the chicken
stock and marinara sauce and heated it with the ingredients already in the pan.
While he was doing this, I helped him by putting the water back on the burner,
re-added the noodle, and restrained them so they would be nice and hot.
Finally, he threw the pasta in the hot pan with the sauce, added the butter and
Parmesan cheese, and stirred until it was well mixed. Then we platted it and
had everyone in the house, who was there at the time, try it. They all loved
it, including myself. This is one recipe I think he mastered in one try.
