When hubby has to make dinner, and there's always the ingredients for this in the kitchen, he cooks us this. It's adults only, as it packs quite a kick from the chilli. The pasta can be any long dry/durum wheat pasta really, but spaghetti and linguini are the best for this.

Steps

5 mins

1

Boil a large pot of water with 2 teaspoons of salt in it...the salted water makes the pasta properly salty, and so seasons the dish.
2

Peel and very thinly slice the garlic cloves. Think of the jail cooking scene in Goodfellas...that thinly sliced, if possible!
3

Add the linguini to the pot (I use the twist and drop method) and stir until cooked...try a piece to test if it's cooked (be careful not to scald yourself) It should be al dente.
4

While the linguini is cooking, put the olive oil, the thinly sliced garlic and the chilli flakes in a skillet or a saute pan. Set the heat under it to low...the idea is to gently cook the garlic and infuse the oil with the chillis.
5

When the garlic is softened, turn the heat off under the pan.
6

Use a pasta spoon to lift the linguini from the water, and transfer it intp the pan where the garlic, oil and chillis are.
7

Use two spoons, or a spoon and a tong, to get the pasta well coated and even distribution of garlic and chillis.
8

Serve straight away, best served in a bowl.
