Manofatto House Staple 🌿

The sauce that comes together in ten-ish minutes and honestly transforms every meal.

Most of you will know it as a classic aglio olio, but one night instead of on a bowl of linguini I drizzled it on flank steak and smashed potatoes and P**F, a star was born. We now use it on lots of different proteins, dipped in bread, Mama Mia.

Load a small sauté pan with evoo. Heavy handed, this is essentially the entire sauce base. Heat on medium low.

Smash a bunch of garlic cloves, maybe even chop them up a bit, but leave it chunky. Add to the pan. Top with crushed red pepper flakes to your heat preferences, also add a good amount of flaky salt and cracked pepper. Heat until garlic really softens and continue to mash it up, stir occasionally.

In the last two minutes, add a handful - a whole handful - of chopped Italian flat leaf parsley. Stir to incorporate, heat for that two minutes-ish, then remove from heat. Taste test. More salt maybe, more heat maybe. Spoon over your meal.

Buon Appetito!

Next up; that apple fennel herb salad that hits every time.
