Ingredients
- Durum wheat pasta180 g
- Extra virgin olive oil4 tablespoons
- Parsley2 tablespoons
- Garlic2 cloves
- Chili pepperto taste
- Coarse saltto taste
- Lemon zestto taste
Procedure
0. Bring salted water to a boil for the pasta. Meanwhile, lightly crush the garlic (you can leave it whole or finely slice it), chop the chili pepper if fresh, and grate the lemon zest with a microplane, avoiding the white pith.
1. In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and chili pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, without burning the garlic: it should become golden and fragrant.
2. Cook the pasta until very al dente (drain 1 minute before the indicated cooking time). Reserve half a cup of the cooking water.
3. Transfer the pasta directly to the pan with the oil, add a little of the cooking water, and stir well over high heat. Now add the chopped parsley, followed immediately by the lemon zest. Toss carefully to distribute all the flavors.
4. Serve immediately, perhaps with a drizzle of raw olive oil and more grated lemon zest on top. A sprinkling of toasted breadcrumbs adds a crunchy touch reminiscent of seafood.
5. Want an even more "marine" flavor? Add a pinch of crumbled nori seaweed or a dash of anchovy sauce (if you're not vegetarian). For a dramatic effect, garnish with whole parsley leaves and a twist of lemon zest.
