Directions

  1. Gently sauté the garlic in a frying pan with a little oil until it starts to brown.
  2. Turn off the heat and mix in the basil, chili pepper, olives, ham, and cream. ≈ 4 min
  3. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling, salted water, and drain them while they are still al dente – not fully cooked.
  4. Save some of the cooking water. ≈ 3 min
  5. Mix the pasta in the frying pan with the sauce and cooking water. Turn up the heat and stir until the sauce thickens sufficiently. While the pasta is absorbing the flavors, the sauce is coming together.
  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. ≈ 2 min
