The best I've tasted is the garlic-and-olive-oil pasta dish at Angelino's. They used to have a pasta buffet where even vegetarians such as myself could have a bloated feast. As for the pasta itself, I prefer fettucini.  And make it spinach.

 

 

if you like garlic and olive oil on your pasta try the spaghettini il classico at cibo. goes well with spinach dip...

you ought to try the following places for pizza, pasta and salad:

 

pagliacci at podium - the aragula salad with lemnn juice and olive oil

 

mi piace at the pen - a salad with foie gras; a thick bean soup ( i just dont remember if its lentil).

 

segafredo;

 

italianni's angel - hair pomodoro

 

cibo

 

there used to be a resto named primavera but it closed; owner migrated to spain where he opened an asian resto which serve pilipino cuisine...

then i'll hop right in.  :D

i prefer sauteing garlic in olive oil, throwing in some shrimps, pasta and adding a little salt and  some wine. you can request this from pasta sections of buffets in hotels or dads.

 

 

you may try anchovies and sun dried tomatoes instead of shrimps... the white wine could be used for washing it down...

great pasta (no sauce yet) should be "al dente" where the pasta is boiled just right enough to be cooked, not soggy.

 

to get pasta al dente, pasta should boil 3 to 5 minutes covered. but you really have to watch over it. no oil, no salt in the water, although i've seen wolfgang puck and molto mario put salt and oil while boiling.

Apparently, there are different schools of thought on that. I always cook pasta with at least a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of salt. I think the oil reduces the chances of the pasta pieces (of whatever kind) sticking to each other in the cooking process. I put the pasta in once the water begins boiling, and cook it uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes. Once the pasta is al dente, I drain the water then put in the garlic powder (or fried garlic) and olive oil. I just can't imagine a pasta dish without olive oil (kahit yung cheapest na mabili).
