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.

Ingredients

5 mins
2 servings
  1. 1fistful of linguini
  2. 2nice fat cloves of garlic
  3. 3 tbspextra virgin olive oil
  4. 1 tspcrushed dried chillis

Cooking Instructions

5 mins
  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 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. 5

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

  6. 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. 7

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

  8. 8

    Serve straight away, best served in a bowl.
