As part of my continuing efforts to work my way through every one of Italian Foodie’s recipes (!), I had a go at the rather exotic sounding “Spaghetti Aglio, Olio E Pepperoncino“. This roughly translates as “Spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili“. The recipe is as simple as it sounds - just gently heat some good extra-virgin olive oil, lightly colour the sliced garlic, then add some finely-chopped red chili and fresh flat-leaf parsley. Add some good quality spaghetti to the sauce (as the Italians do) and serve with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese. Very tasty and makes a great change from “red sauce”. Check out Lorraine’s recipe here. Thanks once again Lorraine!
hahaha I’ll have to start paying you for all these links and posts:) This is actually one of my favourite pasta dishes after linguine with clams! So easy and so much flavour! To change it a little you can add some anchovies and breadcrumbs - really nice addition!
Oh yeah! I’ll send you on my bank details!
I like the sound of the breadcrumbs. I think there’s something similar in one of Jamie Oliver’s books, I must dig it out.
When you write ‘finely-chopped red chili’, what kind/name of chili are you using?
Hi. Any medium strength chilli will do, like a cayenne or a jalapeno.
I tried this meal at Stella Trattoria’s Restaurant in North Denver. It is the best pasta meal!! You can also request it with chicken and it is spectacular.
