    • Healthy Vegetable Pasta with Olive Oil

    • Prep Time 15 min Cook Time 20 min Total Time 35 min

      Ingredients

      • 1/2 lb Pasta of choice; I like Spaghetti, although I’ve used Penne and Linguine before too.
      • 1/2 cup Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil, divided
      • 1/3 cup Onion, diced
      • 3 cloves Garlic, diced
      • 5 cups assorted vegetables. I used a combination of Broccoli, Asparagus, and Carrots here.
      • 1/2 Bell Pepper, diced
      • 1/4 tsp. Salt
      • 3/4 tsp. dried Parsley
      • 1/2 tsp. dried Oregano
      • 3/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
      • 1/4 cup Reserved Pasta Water

      Instructions

      Cook pasta according to package directions.

      While pasta water is cooking, add 1/4 cup of Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil to a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for a couple of minutes until translucent. Add the diced garlic and cook for an additional 30 second before adding the rest of the vegetables, except the bell pepper.

      You want to cook the rest of the vegetables until they’re at your desired texture. I like my vegetables to still have some crunch to them so I cooked my broccoli, asparagus and carrots for an additional 10 minutes. Add in the seasonings from the salt to the garlic powder. Towards the end of the cooking, add in the bell peppers and saute for another minute.

      Drain and rinse the cooked pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the cooked pasta along with the 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, and the additional 1/4 cup of olive oil to the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for another minute allowing flavors to meld.

    • Restaurant Style Olive Oil and Herb Bread Dip


    • Prep 10 mins cook 60 mins total 1 hour, 10 mins

      Ingredients

      • 1/2 cup Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil
      • 1/2-1 whole head of roasted garlic, peeled
      • 1 tsp parsley
      • 1/2 tsp dried basil
      • 1/2 tsp oregano
      • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
      • 1/2 tsp onion powder
      • 1/4 tsp sea salt, plus any extra to taste
      • 1/8 tsp paprika
      • a pinch of thyme
      • a pinch of cayenne or white pepper
      • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

      Instructions

      Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F

      Grab an entire bulb of garlic and slice a little less than 1/4 of the top off, just enough to expose the cloves. Drizzle with Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil and seal into a pinched pouch of aluminum foil. Roast anywhere from 40-60 minutes, depending on your oven and patience. Once the house starts to smell like heaven, resist the urge to dive in to the oven and spread the entire thing on toast. Better yet, roast a second bulb so you can do exactly that!

      Alternatively, you can roast the garlic ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to four days, and simply whip this up whenever your ready for some serious dippage. I typically roast a few bulbs and use the golden cloves in recipes throughout the week.

      Once your garlic is ready, the cloves should practically be bursting from the bulb. Remove anywhere from half to the entire clove and blend together with the Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil using a food processor or blender. Add the herbs and seasoning blend and let it sit so the flavors can infuse the olive oil. You can dig in after 20 minutes or give it an hour or so, totally up to you!
