Spaghetti With Aglio & Peperoncino Recipe

By CHP Admin On

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt it and add the pasta, which will take about 10 minutes to cook.

Step 2: While the pasta cooks, in a small pan gently heat the garlic cloves in the olive oil until the garlic is yellow, about 3 minutes. Add the peperoncino, and keep on low heat until the pasta is done. Remove the garlic halves.

Step 3: When the pasta is ready, drain it, return it to the pot, and toss with the peperoncino, oil and parsley. Grind on some black pepper and serve immediately.
