Ingredients
½ lb (220g) spaghetti
A drizzle of olive oil
1 chili pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Keep some cooking water. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Cook the garlic and chili pepper in a drizzle of olive oil until fragrant. Then add a ladle of water and cook for 1 more min.
Step 3
Add the cooked pasta and the pasta water (using pasta water helps to create a silky, cohesive sauce). Start with 1/4 cup (60ml) of pasta water and adjust as needed to achieve the desired consistency and flavor.
Step 4
Add the parsley to the preparation. Cook and stir until the desired consistency is reached. You can add olive oil to taste to obtain a more unctuous texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
