  1. Put the spaghetti on to boil in unsalted or very lightly salted water. Cook until al dente.
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, mix all the remaining ingredients in a bowl until they are nicely amalgamated. Taste and adjust the measurements to taste—a bit more colatura if you want a stronger taste, for example, or more red pepper if you want more heat.
  3. When the spaghetti is done, drain it very well and add it to the bowl. Mix the pasta and sauce thoroughly and serve up immediately. (NB: No grated cheese, please on this pasta...)
