In honour of this great staple of the winter kitchen, a favourite of professional chefs and culinary novices alike, we present three of our favourite hearty pasta dishes to warm you up on cold days.
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Ingredients
400g-500g dried spaghetti
2 red chillies, de-seeded and cut at a 45° angle
1 large clove of garlic, very thinly sliced
10g parsley, very finely chopped
30g grated Parmesan cheese
45ml olive oil
Method
Get a pot of water on the boil and add some salt (it must taste like the ocean).
It all happens very quickly, so make sure you have all your ingredients ready.
In a frying pan, add 40ml olive oil and the garlic, heat the pan slowly to allow the garlic to toast in the olive oil and become a light golden-brown colour. Add ¾ of your sliced red chillies and fry them off. Add the pasta to the water and boil until al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the frying pan, along with about 20ml of the pasta water, and toss. Add half the Parmesan cheese and ¾ of the chopped parsley, taste, and check to season, adding salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with remaining, chilli, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
