Ingredients
 

  • 7 oz (200 g) spaghetti
  • ¼ cup (4 tbsp) olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 red or green chili pepper seeded & thinly sliced
  • ¼-½ tsp salt
  • black pepper
  • ¼ cup (4 tbsp) pasta water
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salt water until al dente. Drain over a sieve.
  • Heat a skillet with olive oil. Add garlic and chili pepper, fry for 5 minutes over medium heat. → Avoid frying over high heat! Otherwise, the garlic and chili pepper will burn quickly.
  • Add drained pasta and ¼ cup of pasta water, toss for one minute. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and, if you like, grated parmesan cheese or this vegan parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Keeps fresh for 3 days. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Gluten-Free: Regular spaghetti can be replaced with gluten-free spaghetti (I love Barillas’s gluten-free spaghetti).
