2 | 0 minutes |
Ingredients
- 0.5 lb spaghettoni
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp parsley
- 1 small chili pepper
- 2 Tbsp garlic
Cookware
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 saucepan
Instructions
Step 1
In a shallow dish (like a frying pan) add the spaghettoni and barely cover the pasta. You want the pasta water to have as much starch as possible.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and the parsley stem and add some pasta water. Add the chili pepper, garlic, and maybe a little more pasta water. The perfect formula is about 1 part olive oil for two part pasta water. Cook and mix well to create an emulsion.
Step 3
Add the cooked pasta and mix vigorously to keep that emulsion with the pasta. You can always add a little more olive oil if you wish. Add the chopped parsley at the last minute.
Step 4
Traditionally this dish is NOT served with cheese but as long as you do not have Italian at the dinner table, Bon Appetito 😊!!!
