Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pasta alla carrettiera sauce. Finely chop the red chili pepper, washed and de-seeded, the garlic clove, taking care to scoop out the inside germ and discard it, and the parsley.
- Pour the extra-virgin olive oil in a large bowl, add the garlic and chili, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture with a fork for a few seconds.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta al dente, keeping a cup of cooking water aside. Transfer the spaghetti to the bowl with the sauce and mix to combine.
- Add the grated pecorino cheese and two spoonfuls of cooking water to the bowl and mix quickly, adding more cooking water if necessary to ensure that the mixture mixes well, forming a cream.
- Finally add the chopped parsley, toasted almonds, pine nuts, and breadcrumbs (if using), stir all the ingredients, and serve.
