Ingredients

  • 1 large potato
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 pound spaghetti, preferably Felicetti Monograno
  • 6 heaping tablespoons grated Parmesan or other aged cheese
  • 6 heaping tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Salt
  • Dried red chili pepper flakes

Method

  • Peel the potato and cut into tiny cubes.
  • Fry the garlic and oil into a medium saucepan over low heat until the garlic golden, then add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to break up a bit, about 10 minutes.
  • Add about 2 cups of hot water, just enough to cover the potatoes in 1/2 inch of water.
  • Raise the heat, bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes are very soft.
  • Break the spaghetti into pieces, and stir in until combined.
  • Simmer over medium heat until the spaghetti is almost al dente.
  • Stir in the parsley and cheese and cook for another minute, adding hot water, if needed.
  • Season with salt, serve topped with a sprinkle of red chili pepper flakes.
