Instructions

Step 1

Begin by finely slicing the garlic and chilli pepper

Step 2

Next add the olive oil to a pan on medium-low heat

Step 3

In a pot with boiling salted water add the pasta and cook 2 minutes less than instructions on packaging

Step 4

Once shimmering, add the sliced garlic, season with salt and cook until slightly blond

Step 5

Next, add the chilli pepper + fresh cracked black pepper to the garlic and toast for 1 minute

Step 6

Save a large cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta

Step 7

Pour half the cup of pasta water into the pan with the garlic and oil and let it bubble for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Next, add the pasta and begin tossing vigorously. Add more pasta water as necessary. We want the oil and water too emulsify into a creamy sauce

Step 9

Once emulsified, remove from the heat and squeeze half a lemon along with the chopped parsley. Continue to mix vigorously and season with more lemon, salt and pepper to taste

Step 10

Finally plate and finish with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil
