Pasta Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino
A timeless Italian classic that highlights simplicity and bold flavors, perfect for vegetarians or anyone seeking a quick, flavorful meal. This dish demonstrates that delicious food doesn't have to be complex.
Customize the garlic and chili to your preference, skip the chili for a milder version or load up on garlic for an extra kick. Garnish with fresh parsley and, for those who enjoy it, a sprinkle of grated cheese.
Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the garlic and chili by washing and finely chopping them.
Ensure the pasta is "al dente."
Drain the water, reserving a small amount, and set the pasta aside.
Heat the olive oil in a pan once the pasta is ready. Add the garlic and chili, stirring gently for about 30 seconds.
Avoid overcooking the garlic to prevent a bitter taste.
Turn off the heat after half a minute and mix the cooked pasta into the pan, ensuring it is well-coated with the oil mixture.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley and give it a good stir.
Serve immediately as is or with grated cheese.
Enjoy your meal!
