Ingredients
- 400 g pasta spaghetti, vermicelli or linguine are traditional, I used Fresine
- 2 garlic peeled and sliced, cloves
- 1-2 red chili pepper deseeded and chopped, aka peperoncino, fresh
- 8-10 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese grated (optional, or grana cheese
- 1 handful parsley chopped, fresh
- salt for pasta
Instructions
- Put a pan of water on to boil for the pasta. When it starts to boil add salt and bring to the boil again.
- In the meantime, peel and chop the garlic into small slices (not too fine)
- Cut the peperoncino open lengthwise and remove the seeds. Then cut it into small strips.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet, save a little of the cooking water and drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or skillet.
- Add the garlic and as soon as it starts to soften add the peperoncino.
- After a minute or two add the drained pasta to the frying pan. Turn off the heat and mix everything together well. (some people add a couple of tablespoons of the saved pasta cooking water- I didn't)
- Add the chopped parsley and serve immediately with grated parmesan or grana if required. And a sprinkling of more olive oil if the dish is a little dry.
Notes
- If you prefer less garlic, you can fry whole peeled cloves and then remove them before serving.
- Traditionally this dish is served with spaghetti, vermicelli or linguine but you can also use short pasta such as penne.
