Made this last night - it was late and I was looking for something easy - turned out great, too!

Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino
(Spaghetti with Garlic, Olive Oil and Chile Pepper)
Adapted from "The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces"

1 lb. spaghetti
6 tbsp. or so olive oil
5 cloves of garlic
several small chile peppers - I used cayennes and serranos - cut into 2 or 3 pieces
parsley
basil
chile powder of choice
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

- Heat olive oil and add the garlic - leave it whole and remove it before serving or finely chop it and leave it in.
- Add the chile peppers and salt and pepper to taste and cook until garlic is golden brown.
- As soon as the pasta is ready, remove the garlic (if whole) and the chiles from the oil and pour the sizzling oil over the pasta, stirring well.
- Add fresh chopped parsley, basil and chile powder to taste.

I served this with a garlic and parsley pasta - delicious!

Enjoy!
