Spicy Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Here's pasta to eat at midnight, after a night on the town. Or when you return from a trip and the larder is bare. Or on a random Tuesday night when you crave a tangle of spicy noodles flecked with herbs, Calabrian chiles and parsley. Aglio e Olio (literally garlic and oil) is a Roman staple and simple peasant eating at its best. The dish is not usually served with cheese, but we haven’t found anything that freshly grated Parmesan doesn’t improve.

For the best results, use your very best olive oil. Taste the pasta just before serving and adjust with additional seasonings as desired.
Ingredients
-
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Spicy Italian seasoning
-
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
-
¾ pound spaghetti, bucatine, or linguine
-
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Directions
Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water until it’s al dente, about 10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, combine the olive oil, garlic, and Spicy Italian seasoning in a large skillet over medium heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle, remove the skillet from heat.
Use tongs to transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to combine, then add the parsley and toss again. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired, and then serve with grated cheese, if you like.
