Description
A delicious spaghetti dish featuring olive oil, garlic, and a hint of spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz spaghetti
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 4 cups tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium red chili, sliced
- 1 teaspoon crushed pepper flakes
- 2 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add garlic, red chili, and crushed pepper flakes and cook until fragrant and lightly smoky, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the dry spaghetti directly to the pan and let it toast briefly, turning to coat it in the spiced oil.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and vegetable broth, ensuring the spaghetti is mostly covered.
- Let the pasta simmer uncovered, turning occasionally, as the sauce reduces and thickens.
- Allow the bottom layer to caramelize slightly for crispy edges.
- Season with salt and pepper and finish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less chili and pepper flakes.
- Make sure to monitor the garlic closely to avoid burning it.
