It turns out that Claudio Damiani (this is such an Italian singer) has a song dedicated to this dish.
It is called that - Aglio, olio e peperoncino. Lines from there:
Ed io mi faccio due spaghetti1
Aglio, olio e peperoncino per accendere buon umor
Ed io mi mangio due spaghetti
Aglio, olio e peperoncino e sorriso ritornerà.
E dai becchiamo gli spaghetti
Aglio, olio e peperoncino e beviamo un bicchier di vino
E dai dai prepara gli spaghetti
Aglio, olio e peperoncino per tornata felicita.
Found their translation:
And I'm making myself spaghetti
Garlic, oil and hot peppers, to raise the mood,
And I eat spaghetti
Garlic, oil and hot peppers, and the smile will return.
And let's have some spaghetti
Garlic, oil and hot peppers, and have a glass of wine
Come on, come on, make the spaghetti
Garlic, oil and hot peppers to restore happiness.
According to Damiani, spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino is a great cure for everything. And from a bad mood, and from stress, and from loneliness. Shall we prepare?
We take:
- Spaghetti packaging
- 1 tomato (the main thing is not plastic taste, we have Italy!)
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 2 chili or pepperoni
- Bunch of parsley
- Olive oil - 100 ml
- A teaspoon of basil and oregano - but a few stalks of fresh herbs would be better
- A handful of salt (salt water)
- Well, and, of course, 50 grams of grated hard cheese, or all 100 grams - you won't spoil the pasta with cheese!
How we cook:
First of all, cut the tomato into cubes. And then we clean the garlic, cut it into small pieces, add salt and let it stand for a while. It stood - grind it together with salt into a paste and send it to the tomato. We also add herbs there - finely chopped parsley, oregano and basil (if they are not fresh, then dry). We leave to wait.
We put a pot of water (1 liter per 100 grams of spaghetti), salt well and wait for the water to boil literally with a key.
At this time, we clean peppers from partitions and seeds, finely chop.
Pour 100 ml of oil into the pan, throw in the pepper. We do not need to fry it, therefore, do not do much heating at first - we need the pepper to languish in warm oil, giving off its taste and aroma.
But when we sent the spaghetti to boil in boiling water with a spring, and they had two or three minutes left until ready, we turn on the heating of the pan to full.
Is the oil hot? We pour in about 200 milliliters of water from a saucepan with pasta and there - we send our mixture of tomatoes, herbs and garlic.
Is the mixture boiled with butter? We urgently send slightly undercooked spaghetti to it and, stirring constantly, bring them to full readiness. We need to constantly stirring so that an emulsion-sauce is formed from water, oil, seasonings, which will envelop our spaghetti - each spaghetti separately and all at once.
The aroma will float through the kitchen at this time... Mmmm, salivation will flow. At this moment, everyone usually understands why aglio, olio e peperoncino songs are dedicated.
So the main thing is not to get confused, put the spaghetti on a plate and sprinkle with cheese, immediately use it.
Bon Appetit!
