Ingredients




100 grams Spaghettini (thin spaghetti)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 whole dried chili pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt

Preparation

1 Important: timing is everything 2 Start with boiling water in a large pot. Add generous amount of sea salt to the boiling water so that you can actually taste a bit of salt in the water. (you are making your pasta flavored with the salt water) 3 Put spaghettini in the water and boil for 7 minutes 4 While you are boiling the spaghettini, mince the garlic 5 Have a frying pan heated up (med-low heat) with olive oil and chili pepper after 4 miniutes of boiling pasta. 6 Put the garlic in the pan. it's almost like you are deep frying the garlic than pan frying it. you have 2-3 minutes to make the garlic cripsy golden brown. 7 After 7 minutes of past boiling, put the pan in high heat, then scoop a 2 tablespoons of the salty boiling water and pour it to the pan (still heated) - you'll see a bit of steam coming out...this helps the past to stay warm 8 Quickly take the pasta out of the pot, drain it, and dump it in the pan and quickly mix it...and you are done!
