CAMPANIA - Spaghetti "aglio e olio" - Neapolitan style

SKU:

Creamy Garlic & Chili Spaghetti

Prep & Cook Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Viaggio spaghetti
  • ½ cup Viaggio extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 fresh hot chili pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • Viaggio grated Romano cheese, to taste
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until just shy of al dente.
  2. In a large pan, heat the Viaggio olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole chili pepper and let it infuse until small bubbles form around it.
  3. Once the oil is hot and fragrant, remove the pan from heat. Add the sliced garlic and chopped parsley, allowing them to infuse the oil without burning.
  4. One minute before the pasta is done, remove the chili from the pan and transfer the drained spaghetti directly into the garlic oil mixture. Toss well over medium-low heat, adding a few spoonfuls of the starchy pasta water to create a silky, creamy sauce.
  5. Stir in grated Romano cheese to taste and toss again until fully coated. Plate and finish with an extra sprinkle of cheese and a dash of parsley, if desired.
