Scale
- 1 lb. dried Linguine (preferred) or use dried Spaghetti
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste – preferably Calabrian
- 7 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 to 1 1/2 tsp. finely minced and de-seeded small fresh hot red peppers (Thai for REALLY hot, red Fresno or red Jalapeño for semi-hot) or use finely-minced jarred Calabrian chiles (very hot) or use standard red pepper flakes (kind of hot) (TFD prefers the non-traditional but delicious use of Aleppo pepper flakes – kind of hot with a cumin-like undertone)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, plus more for the pasta water
- Minced parsley, preferably Italian parsley, to taste
Instructions
- To prepare the linguine with garlic, oil and chili pepper , throw the pasta into plenty of well-salted water to taste and cook al dente, probably 8-10 minutes but taste it to be sure.
- Drain the pasta and reserve ¼ cup of the salted pasta water.
- Add the reserved pasta and pasta water, combine with the oil and seasonings until the starchy water and the oil emulsify. Serve immediately with minced parsley to garnish.
