To prepare the spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli, start by cooking the pasta in boiling salted water to taste 1. Cook the spaghetti al dente and in the meantime you can prepare the sauce: peel the garlic cloves, divide them in half 2 and remove the soul (the central green part of each clove) 3.

Cut the wedges into rather thin slices 4. Take the fresh chilli, and cut it into slices 5 eliminating the petiole. If you prefer less spiciness, you can open it lengthwise and remove the seeds before cutting it into slices. Now pour the oil into a large pan 6

Heat it over a low flame and add the garlic 7 and chilli 8. Fry the sauce over very low heat, the chilli and garlic should not burn but only fry for a couple of minutes 9

and for a uniform browning without the risk of burning them, you can tilt the pan so as to collect the oil and seasoning in a single point and allow uniform browning 10. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, you can transfer it directly to the pan 11 and add a ladle of cooking water 12.
