Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1/3 cupgood quality olive oil
  2. 6garlic cloves
  3. HalfMetric tonne of parsley
  4. Chilli flakes
  5. Fresh Fettuccine
  6. Salt
  7. Pepper
  8. 1/2lemon

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Although fresh pasta isn't imperative, it makes a phenomenal difference in the finished product. This takes about 10 total minutes to prepare and is one of the best dishes ive ever had.

  2. 2

    Prep: peel and finely slice (as finely as possible, feel free to mince them if you find it easier) the garlic cloves, and chop roughly a cup and a half of fresh parsley.

  3. 3

    Set a pot of heavily salted water to boil and heat the olive oil in a non stick pan over medium low heat.

  4. 4

    Place the pasta in the boiling water and cook until just before aldente, it will finish cooking in the pan. About a minute before the pasta is done, place the garlic in the oil to cook off the raw flavour.

  5. 5

    And the chilli flakes about 30 seconds before the pasta to wake them up a bit

  6. 6

    When the pasta is ready, tranfer to the pan using tongs, do not strain, the pasta water will help emulsify the sauce. Immedistely add the parsley, grind in a fair whack of cracked pepper (6-10 turns of the pepper mill) and salt.

  7. 7

    Toss to combine, turn off the heat and squeeze in half a lemon. Toss until the sauce thickens.

  8. 8

    Serve.

Using confit garlic gives it a beautiful caramelized sweetness.
