A true Italian pantry pasta with olive oil, garlic, chilli and parsley. The sauce comes together while the spaghetti cooks.

Serves: 2 people

Preparation time: 15 min

Ingredients

spaghetti – 180 g
olive oil – 4 tbsp
garlic – 3 cloves, thinly sliced
red chilli flakes – pinch
flat-leaf parsley – small handful
salt – to taste

Method

STEP 1
Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Before draining, scoop out a small cup of the pasta water.
STEP 2
While the pasta cooks, warm the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and chili flakes and cook gently for about 1 minute, just until the garlic turns pale golden. Keep the heat moderate so the garlic perfumes the oil instead of turning bitter.
STEP 3
Add the drained spaghetti to the pan with a splash of the reserved pasta water and toss until the oil lightly coats every strand. Stir through the parsley, taste for salt, and serve straight away.
