Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, E Peperoncio

Translation: Spaghetti with Garlic, Oil and Chili Pepper Flakes


This is a super simple, super tasty recipe. David really enjoyed it! I forgot the Chili Pepper Flakes so I added a little Italian seasoning and it was OK, but David loved it. I also thought it would be delicious with some grilled chicken.

7 oz of Spaghetti (or any type of pasta)
2 large or 3 small garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp of chili pepper flakes
1/4 to 1.3 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

*note* Measurements in this recipe can be shifted depending on your taste preferences

Cook spaghetti according to the directions on the package, until it is al dente (firm but not hard).
Strain spaghetti and place in a large serving dish
Add minced garlic, chili pepper flakes, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Mix together well.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
