Saffron Aglio Olio e Peperoncino
Ingredients
Instructions
- Chop garlic and chili into thin slices, adjust quantities according to taste. Set aside.
- Cook pasta according to packaging instructions and while it is cooking, make the sauce. Make sure to take out and reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, after the pasta has been boiling for a few minutes.
- Heat up the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, throw in the garlic and chili and cook until the garlic is beginning to brown slightly. Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
- While the oil cools, dissolve the saffron in the pasta water that was saved and let rest for about a minute.
- Return the oil to the heat and set it on low, pour the saffron and pasta water into the mixture and let cook down for 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt into the sauce and mix in.
- Once the pasta is cooked, strain it and place it directly into the pan with the sauce still on low heat. Mix everything together for a minute or two to incorporate and serve immediately.
