It is as very simple Italian recipe which is made up of spaghetti pasta tossed with chilli and garlic and garnish with grated cheese & chopped basil.

INGREDIENT( serving 4)

400g	Cook Italian Spaghetti
4 tablespoons	Olive Oil
4 cloves	Garlic, coarsely chopped
2	Red Chillies, de-seeded and coarsely chopped
A pinch of	Salt and Pepper to taste
A handful of	Fresh Basil leaves, chopped
A twist of	Black Pepper to serve
25g	Parmesan Cheese

METHOD

Cook the Spaghetti in a large pan of boiling, lightly salted, water for about 8 minutes, or 10 if you like your pasta a bit softer.

Warm the Olive Oil in a pan on a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for a couple of minutes until softened but not burnt.

When the Pasta is ready, drain off all the water. Remove the pan with the garlic and chilli from the heat and tip the drained hot Pasta into it, then mix until the Pasta is glossily coated in the Olive Oil.

Sprinkle with the chopped basil and the Parmesan Cheese over the top and serve immediately with black pepper for a final flourish.
