Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves (or more to taste), finely chopped
  • 1 dried peperoncino red chili pepper, crumbled, or more to taste (don't overdo it)
  • 50 ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 500 gr (1.1 lb) spaghetti

Directions

  1. Bring a gallon of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the spaghetti.

  2. Meanwhile sauté minced garlic and peperoncino in the oil until the garlic begins to tan. Remove skillet form the stove, you don’t want the garlic to burn and turn horribly bitter.

  3. When the spaghetti are just shy of being al dente, drain them well, transfer them to the flavored oil skillet and toss them for a few minutes to blend flavors, again over vivacious heat.
