Italian Soul Meets Garlic Perfection
This pasta just got a serious upgrade. We’ve combined the rich, herb-forward depth of our brand new LL Italian Soul™ Seasoning with the bold garlicky punch of LL Garlic Soul Seasoning for a pasta dish that tastes like it came straight from a trattoria — with a soul food twist.
Simple ingredients, two incredible seasonings, and 20 minutes is all you need.
⏱ Cook Time: 20 minutes | 🍽 Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb spaghetti or linguine
- 1½ tablespoons LL Italian Soul™ Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon LL Garlic Soul Seasoning
- ⅓ cup good olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup pasta water (reserved)
- Fresh basil, parsley, and parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Cook the pasta. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
- Toast the garlic. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced garlic and cook slowly until golden — about 3 minutes. Low and slow is the secret.
- Bloom the seasonings. Add LL Italian Soul™ and LL Garlic Soul Seasoning plus red pepper flakes to the oil. Stir and let bloom for 30 seconds — your kitchen will smell incredible.
- Toss the pasta. Add drained pasta to the skillet with a splash of pasta water. Toss vigorously to coat every strand in the seasoned oil.
- Serve. Plate immediately, topped with fresh basil, parsley, and a generous shower of parmesan.
Coach LL's Tips
- LL Italian Soul™ brings oregano, basil, and Mediterranean herb depth — Garlic Soul brings the bold savory punch. Together they’re unstoppable.
- Low and slow on the garlic — golden is perfect, brown is bitter.
- The pasta water is liquid gold — it helps the sauce cling to every noodle.
- Add grilled shrimp, chicken, or Italian sausage to make it a complete meal.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
