There is no exact how many to use for the ingredients.. Because i just have a very quick look on how Table for 2 recipe.. and then i just go to my own version "agak agak" for it.. haha..
Sautéed Mushrooms
White button mushrooms
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
1. Heat a pan on medium heat. Put in oil and butter.
2. Saute garlic until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Put in sliced mushrooms (turn heat to high) and cook until they wilt and slightly caramelized.
4. Season with salt. Dish up and set aside.
Spaghetti Aglio Olio
200gm spaghetti (to be cooked al dente) I put enough for 2 person
2 dried chillies, coarsely milled, or you can use 1 tsp those pepper flakes in bottles (reserve some for garnish) I use dried Chilies
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
Some parsley for garnish
1. Bring a pot of water to boil, put in some salt and cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Use a clean pan, put in on medium low heat. (I read, do not use high heat, unlike Chinese cooking, let the garlic slowly infuse the oil)
3. Put in olive oil and garlic, cook until garlic is fragrant then put in chilli flakes.
4. Cook until garlic is slightly golden, put in 1/2 tsp salt and put in cooked spaghetti.
5. Toss spaghetti in the fragrant oil. Taste, if not salty enough, add more salt.
6. Put sautéed mushroom into the spaghetti and toss. (Or you can skip this step if you want to top the spaghetti with mushrooms instead of mixing them in)
7. Dish up and top with some chopped parsley. (I omitted because i don't have this in my kitchen)
