Directions

  1. Cook the spaghetti al dente in a large pot of well-salted water, using plenty of water.
  2. Peel the garlic and lightly crush it with your fingers. Chop the parsley. ≈ 8 min
  3. In a frying pan, heat 2-3 mm of olive oil and sauté the garlic and chili peppers until golden brown. The darker the peppers, the more intense the flavor. Remove the garlic.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and add them to the frying pan.
  5. Season generously, mix well, and serve garnished with parsley. ≈ 4 min
  6. For a more intense flavor, mince the garlic, chop the chili peppers, and leave them in the oil; you can also briefly fry the parsley in the oil and add a little butter at the end.
