A traditional Italian delicious recipe with spaghetti, so simple and tasty to prepare with a few basic ingredients . Simplicity in a dish full of flavour and satisfaction. It’s also the dish that saves you when there is a lunar landscape in the fridge, or when you organize a last-minute dinner with friends or even when friends stop late at night and, well, someone often do the classic question “spaghetti garlic oil and chili pepper?”.. and the answer is always obviously “yes !! ”
Serves 4, Preparation time 5 mins, Cooking time 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 400 g. spaghetti
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 fresh chili pepper or 2 dried chili peppers
- 10 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- Salt to taste (for the water)
- Start by boiling the salted water that will serve to cook spaghetti.
- Meanwhile, peel and cut the garlic cloves in half for length. You can also leave them whole as you like. (I left them so).
- In a large frying pan, heat the EVOO, then add the garlic cloves, brown them for a few minutes until they are golden and then combine the chili pepper in pieces (if you use the dry one, open and brown also the seeds inside them) and brown for a couple of minutes. Turn off the fire.
- Drain the spaghetti ” al dente” (a couple of minutes before cooking time marked on the package) and put aside some of the cooking water.
- Pour spaghetti in the pan with garlic and oil, turn on the flame again, add a little of cooking water, stir well and remove the garlic. Immediately serve spaghetti hot.
