Spaghetti Aglio e Olio Piccante is a bold, easy-to-make dish that combines the aromatic flavors of garlic with a delightful kick of spice, perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 200 grams of spaghetti and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally.
While the spaghetti is cooking, peel and thinly slice 4 cloves of garlic.
In a large pan, heat 60 milliliters of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is golden but not burnt.
Add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the pan and stir for another 30 seconds to infuse the oil with spice.
Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Add the drained spaghetti to the pan with garlic and oil, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Season with salt to taste and toss in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately while hot.
