Number Of Ingredients 5

olive oil
crushed red pepper (optional)
spaghetti
garlic, thinly sliced
fresh, whole hot peppers (optional)

Steps:

  • Generously cover the bottom of a pan with olive oil and place over low heat. Add a whole fresh pepper or a pinch of crushed red pepper and the garlic. Sauté until garlic is golden. If you have used fresh pepper, remove it. Add cooked, drained spaghetti to the pan, mix well, and serve in a very hot dish. Taste for spiciness. If the dish isn't fiery enough, add more pepper. The spaghetti should be ready when the garlic turns golden, so nothing gets cold. Timing is essential here because the sauce cannot be set aside. The only thing you can add to this dish is nothing. Especially not cheese. I know many people like cheese on pasta, but it's unnecessary here. Note: Here's another way to make the dish, which will make the sauce spicier. Add the fresh pepper to the water in which the pasta is cooking. Use 2 or 3 peppers for a gallon of water.
