Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 1 cup(s) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup(s) peeled garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp crushed red chili pepper, plus more as needed
  • 1 lb Central Market Spaghetti Pasta Di Gragnano I.G.P.
  • 1/3 cup(s) fresh Italian parsley, chopped roughly, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup(s) Pecorino Romano, grated

Instructions

  1. Place a small pot over low heat. Add oil, garlic, and red chili flakes and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook until garlic just starts to turn a light tannish color. Turn off heat and set garlic aside to cool slightly while prepping other ingredients.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a generous pinch of salt. Once water is boiling, cook pasta according to package instructions.
  4. When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup of pasta water for the sauce and drain pasta. Set pasta aside and make sauce.
  5. In a blender combine oil, garlic mixture and reserved pasta water. Blend until sauce thickens and emulsifies.
  6. Pour contents of blender into a large sauté pan and set over medium heat. Add cooked pasta, and bring to a simmer until pasta sauce thickens, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, add parsley and garnish with pecorino cheese as needed. Serve immediately.
