Source of Recipe

Anna Theresa Callen


Recipe Introduction

This is called a 5-minute sauce because it takes no time to prepare. Callen advises us to make it in a roomy skillet so you can toss the freshly cooked pasta right in. Have the pasta cooked before you begin.

List of Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 small diavoletto (dried Italian hot red pepper) or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano




Recipe

In large heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and hot pepper and cook, stirring, until garlic starts to color, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in parsley.

Pluck out whole hot pepper. Remove skillet from heat and add chosen pasta. Toss and serve immediately with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Dresses 1 pound pasta.


YIELD: 4-6 servings
