# Spaghetti

This dish might be very familiar with fan of Italian cuisine to the point of boredom. But it could be a culinary delight in the hands of a masterchef. For ordinary cooks, it is super quick and easy to make and can be a real life-saver when you need to feed hungry mouths fast.

Ingredients for 4 Servings:

**400g spaghetti**

**200ml [Ilias and Sons Original Blend extra virgin olive oil](https://iliasandsons.com/products/organic-extra-virgin-olive-oil-750-ml?variant=19954971203 "Spaghetti with Extra Virgin Olive Oil")**

**3 garlic cloves, finely chopped**

**1 red chili, finely chopped**

**A large handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (or basil)**

**Salt**

Directions:

1.  Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until it becomes soft but still has a little bite.
2.  Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a low heat, and fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes until golden, stirring with a wooden spoon to spread the flavor through the oil. Add 2 tablespoon cooking water to the pan and stir in the chili and parsley. Season with salt and cook for 3 minutes, mixing occasionally.
3.  Drain the spaghetti quickly so it is still rather wet and add it to the sauce. Gently toss to coat, then leave for a minute over a low heat before serving on hot plates. The spaghetti can be accompanied with Greek _Mizithra or Parmesan cheese._
