Ingredients
- garlic - 1/2 large clove (about half a large garlic clove, sliced thick)
- chili - 1/4 chili (about a quarter of a chili, adjust to taste)
- parsley - watch the video to see (roughly chopped)
- olive oil - watch the video to see (enough to start sweating garlic and chili)
- pasta - watch the video to see (cooked and ready)
- pasta water - watch the video to see (reserved water from cooking pasta, added to sauce)
- butter - watch the video to see (a knob to melt into the pasta for creaminess)
- lemon - 1 lemon (juice and a little zest, to taste)
- Parmesan cheese - watch the video to see (grated, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare garlic and chili: Slice half a large garlic clove thickly and chop about a quarter of a chili. Roughly chop some parsley.
- Sweat garlic and chili: Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic and chili, and cook gently to sweat them without burning, allowing the oil to absorb their flavors.
- Add cooked pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the pan, stir well, and add a little reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Add butter and lemon: Add a knob of butter to melt into the pasta for creaminess, then squeeze in lemon juice and add a little lemon zest.
- Finish and serve: Add grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, stir again with a bit more pasta water if needed, then plate and serve immediately.
