Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, dall'Inferno all'Emperio

Kurt
I've taken the classic spaghetti with garlic olive oil into the stratosphere! I replaced the usual red pepper flakes with a blend of Carolina Reaper, Moruga Scorpion, Ghost, and Habanero peppers. "dall'Inferno all'Emperio" means  "from Hell to Heaven" — from the burn to the endorphin rush!

Special Equipment Needed

  • 1 skillet

Ingredients
 

  • 16 ounces spaghetti
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon "I Can't Feel My Face" pepper flakes or other pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup Italian parsley chopped
  • 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese finely grated

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
    16 ounces spaghetti
  • Add the olive oil and garlic to a cold skillet. Bring to medium-high heat, until it starts to sizzle. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the garlic starts to turn brown.
    ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 6 cloves garlic
  • Remove the garlic from the skillet. Remove the pan from the heat, add the pepper flakes, and cook for about 5 minutes.
    ¼ teaspoon "I Can't Feel My Face" pepper flakes
  • Pour the oil and pepper flakes into the spaghetti and toss to coat the pasta. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
    Salt and black pepper
  • Sprinkle the parsley and cheese over the pasta and stir to combine.
    ¼ cup Italian parsley, 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Serve with additional cheese and parsley, and a fire extinguisher. Seriously, dairy or alcohol will help tone down the heat level. I usually drink beer with really hot foods, and ice cream or gelato would be a great follow-up to this dish.
