Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
- Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the thinly sliced red hot chili peppers to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic, chili, and sun-dried tomato mixture.
- Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of extra olive oil if desired.
Tips:
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions to avoid it becoming too soft when mixed with the sauce.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining, as it can be used to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
- If you prefer a milder dish, substitute red hot chili peppers with milder varieties or reduce the amount used.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or fresh basil just before serving.
- Ensure the sun-dried tomatoes are well-drained if they are packed in oil; otherwise, they might make the dish too oily.
With its perfect blend of spice, tanginess, and richness, Spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and chili is sure to become a favorite in your household. Serve it with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Enjoy the delicious taste and the warmth it brings!
