Ingredients

  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
  • 2 large red chiles, thinly sliced
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Handful approx. 1 1/4 inches in diameter (7 ounces) dried spaghetti
  • Salt

Method

  • Cook the garlic and chilis very gently in a small pan with the olive oil, until the garlic (the aglio) is pale golden and both are crisp.
  • Lift out with a slotted spoon and put onto a small plate; reserve the oil.
  • Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente.
  • Drain well in a colander and rinse with warm water.
  • Now take a large skillet (preferably nonstick) and add some of the flavored oil.
  • Heat gently and then tip in the spaghetti.
  • Turn and toss the pasta around until well coated with oil.
  • Add the chili and garlic and toss until well dispersed.
  • Turn the spaghetti onto two very hot plates, adding a little extra oil if you think it necessary.
  • Eat without delay.
