Pepperoncino pasta

2010-08-25T23:26:00.000-07:00

Ingredients:

1 lb spaghetti,
1/2 cup olive oil,
4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly,
1-2 dried pepperoncini (or any red spicy pepper, siling labuyo for ex.),
salt and pepper to taste.
chopped basil (fresh or dry) , parsley or any green leafy vegetables you have

Instructions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil, put a little salt and oil for taste and to avoid pasta from sticking to each other. Add pasta. set your timer at least 1 minute under the required cooking time of pasta, your pasta needs to be a little undercook because you have to cook it again with the sauce.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil. When warm, add garlic and pepperoncini. Do not let the garlic brown, it will get bitter. Add the pasta to the sauce with some salt and pepper and green garnish.
If you love cheese then add some parmesan cheese. enjoy!
note: I like putting a little mayo on it for extra taste.
