Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

200g spaghetti
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 small red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
a small handful parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for about 10 mins, or until al dente - it should retain a little bite.
  • When the pasta is nearly ready, heat the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat and sizzle the garlic and chilli, if using, for 1 minute until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden but not brown (the garlic will taste bitter if it gets too dark).
  • Drain the spaghetti and add it to the garlicky oil with the parsley. Season and toss to combine, then serve.
