Preparation
-
Instructions:
- Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute.
- If desired, add chopped red chili pepper to the skillet.
- Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the garlic.
- Toss the spaghetti for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
- If you don't like the taste of raw garlic, you can saute it for a few more minutes before adding the spaghetti.
- For a spicy kick, add chopped red chili pepper to the skillet with the garlic.
- If you want the pasta to be creamier, you can add a little bit of heavy cream or Parmesan cheese at the end.
Variations:
- For a different twist, you can add other ingredients to the skillet, such as mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or roasted vegetables.
- You can also serve the pasta with a tomato sauce, pesto, or artichoke sauce.
I have translated the recipe as closely as possible to the original Spanish text. I have also taken care to preserve the meaning and intent of the text.
Here are some additional notes on the translation:
- I have used American English spelling and grammar throughout the translation.
- I have added some clarifying information in a few places to make the translation easier to understand. For example, I have added the following sentence to the instructions:
"Cook the spaghetti according to package directions."
I hope this translation is helpful and accurate. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
