Spaghetti aglio e olio

Put a tablespoon of sea salt in the boiling water.

Boil the spaghetti 12 minutes, one minute less than the packet, because it finishes in the fry pan.

Heat a very generous amount of extra virgin olive oil in the fry pan.

Add a splash of water, maybe two tablespoons, before the oil gets hot, then crush in the garlic.

Add the red hot chili and a little parsley and mix.

Add about half a mug of pasta water before the pasta and work it into an emulsion.

Add the spaghetti, then more pasta water, more extra virgin olive oil and more parsley.

Finish the rest of the pasta water, toss, and add the last of the olive oil and parsley.
