Ingredienti

• 350 g spaghetti (- 3/4 pound)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 chili peppers (- fresh or dried)
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• choppe fresh parsley (- a handful)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cook: In a large pot, bring plenty of water to a boil. When it boils, add the coarse salt. Then add the pasta and cook the spaghetti, stirring occasionally. Follow the cooking time indicated on the package (usually 8 to 12 minutes).

2. 2

   Clean: While the pasta is cooking, clean the garlic cloves. Cut them in half and remove the inner part. Finally cut the cloves into slices.

3. 3

   cut: Then take the red chilies and cut them into thin slices. If you don't want too spicy a flavor, cut them lengthwise and remove the seeds. Then slice them finely.

4. 4

   Sauté: Heat 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan. Add sliced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. Be careful that it doesn't burn. Burnt garlic gives the dish a bitter taste that is very strong. Add the chili pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Drain: Cook the pasta al dente. When ready, drain the pasta. Transfer to the frying pan with the garlic and red hot chili.

6. 6

   Serve: Stir and sauté the spaghetti in the pan for 1 minute so that they can absorb the flavors of the aglio olio sauce. Serve pasta aglio e olio really hot with a sprinkling of finely chopped fresh parsley.
