Ingredients
- ½ lb spaghetti pasta
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tsp chili flakes or 1 fresh chili pepper
- Parsley (to taste) at your taste
- salt
- 2 slice white bread
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves; cut them into 2 or 3, pieces, crush them, or chop them into smaller pieces.
- Sauté the garlic with 3 tablespoons of oil in a dutch oven or cast iron frying pan until golden over medium heat.
- Cut the hot chili pepper into halves, remove the seeds and add it to the pan.
- Remove the garlic, if you have sliced it, and set it aside. You can also leave the garlic in the pan if you like a strong taste.
- Mix the white bread and the parsley.
- Toast at medium-high temperature until it becomes crispy.
- Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling water until al dente or chewy. Drain it and reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
- Pour the pasta into the skillet and stir constantly; add some pasta cooking liquid: the starch will make the sauce creamy, and it will evenly coat your spaghetti.
- Sauté over high heat for a few minutes.
- Garnish with toasted breadcrumbs with parsley and the garlic you have set aside. Serve hot.
