Aglio, olio e peperoncino...?
Aglio, olio e peperoncino...?
In Italy usually when we say aglio, olio e peperoncino means that we propose to cook "spaghetti with oil, garlic and red chilly (hot chilly uh). In most of the case is considered the "friends" dish; when, at midnight, you still... have friends at home it's very common to say: aglio, olio e peperoncino...? No one refuse ! So, we start preparing all the ingredients: 1 - not less than 1 clove of garlic/person - each gloves cut in pieces (I use to cut in 12 pieces); 2 - 1, ½ / tablespoon of oil/person; 3 - peperoncino, as you like..; 4 - 80/100 g. spaghetti (I like the vermicelli)/person; 5 - parmigiano reggiano. Preparation: Put a pot with abundant water at high heat, salt (I use 10 g/liter) and a soon the water start boil put a pan enough bigger at medium heat and live it to warm up, a soon it's lukewarm put the oil. When the oil it's warm put the garlic (pay attention to avoid that the oil make smoke - to be sure put in a pc. of garlic in the pan and when it start fry is ok) and peperoncino. If available use a wooden spoon mix the garlic. (garlic must be light brown). When the water boil put in the spaghetti than everyone of you is able to cook a bit of spaghetti, but what it's really important is to avoid to cook them to much: they must be cooked "al dente" (still slightly firm) more or less 7 minutes. Now, if you followed this process spaghetti and garlic should be ready at the same moment then with a big fork bring the spaghetti and put them in the pan together with the garlic, mix them and, after 1 minutes, a snow of parmigiano, mix again for an other minute and serve. (if needed add a bit of the spaghetti water). Enjoy! golden p.s.: red wine is recommended |
