Bucatini aglio, olio e peperoncino
Normally made with spaghetti, this simple dish is pasta with garlic, oil and chilli. For a change I use bucatini - a long, thick, tubed spaghetti.
Apart from the pasta, you can use as much or as little of the ingredients as you like.

- 350g bucatini or spaghetti
- Olive oil, to taste
- Garlic to taste, finely chopped
- Chilli flakes, to taste
- Flat-leaved parsley, finely chopped, to garnish
Method
- In a large pan of lightly salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil to medium in a small frying pan and stir in the garlic and chilli flakes.
- Cook until the garlic is golden.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain and transfer to a serving dish.
- Pour the garlic and chilli mixture, with the oil over the pasta and toss lightly.
- Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Variations
I used chives instead of parsley. Any type of long pasta would work well.
When I have eaten this in Italian restaurants in Spain, it has been made with butter rather oil. Personally, I prefer it with oil, but do sometimes add a knob of butter to the pasta at the end.
