Family Favorite - Parsley Chili Pasta


This recipe has been with our family, quite possibly since the beginning of time and still manages to be a crowd-pleasing favorite. It is hard to believe that something so easy with so few ingredients can taste so good, but believe us when we say…it does!

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10-15min
COOK TIME: 15-20miN

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb. (1package, 16oz) of Spaghetti
- 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 teaspoons dried chili flakes (add more for additional spice)
- 3/4 Cup chopped parsley
- 3 Tablespoons Copper Hill Frontoia extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Parmesan (Suggest: Parmesan Reggiano)

PREPERATION:
Cook Spaghetti according to package instructions.

In a large skillet heat and add Copper Hill Frantoio extra virgin olive oil. Add chili flakes and allow them to toast in the oil for about 30 seconds. Then add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, be careful not to burn the garlic. Add chopped parsley and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Drain pasta in strainer and add to the olive oil mixture. Toss, add salt and pepper to taste, and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
