Ingredients (what you need)
500 g spaghetti (I recommend Adriana, Panzani or Barilla)
1.5 fresh chili peppers
1.5 heads of garlic
1 teaspoon of Aglio olio & peperoncino spice
75 ml of quality extra virgin olive oil
150 g of grated Parmesan cheese
fresh basil
Recipe steps
Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the package instructions. Peel the garlic and slice it thinly, wash the chili peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them into small cubes. Put the garlic and chili into a pan, add the spices (if you don't have special seasoning for Aglio olio & peperoncino, dried basil and a bit of chili salt will do), pour in olive oil, and slowly sauté in the pan. About 5 minutes on low heat is enough so that the garlic doesn't become bitter, but just softens.
Drain the cooked spaghetti and place it in the turned-off pan. Mix well and we are ready to serve. On top, add coarsely grated Parmesan (don't be stingy) and fresh basil leaves.
