It was about the time for a second recipe, my imaginary readers, so there it is! Although my mom made it lots of times, this is a recipe typical of the South of Italy (namely Calabria or Sicilia). It's extremely simple and quick. I use to cook this at night when I don't wanna cook.
Pasta "garlic, oil and pepper"
Ingredients: pasta (1/2 lb, spaghetti is preferred), oil (5 tbsp), garlic (1-2 cloves) and hot pepper (whole peppers would be better, but also grounded will work). Optional: cherry tomatoes (a few).
Preparation: while the pasta is cooking, put the garlic and the pepper with the oil in a pan. If you have the small peppers, put 2-3 in the pan; if you have the big ones, 1 is enough; while if you are using the powder...well, use your fucking intuition man! If you want to add cherry tomatoes, cut them in 4 and put them in the pan together with the garlic and the pepper. When the garlic browns a bit, turn off the stove. When the pasta is cooked, strain it and put the sauce you prepared on top of it and serve. You might also add some fresh basil to make it more appealing.
I swear, this is a picture of mine...
