Preparation

How to prepare Creamy garlic, oil, and chili pasta

To prepare creamy garlic, oil, and chili pasta, first cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water 1. Meanwhile, cut the garlic cloves in half, remove the core, and slice them thinly 2. Remove the stalk from the chili and cut it in half lengthwise, then into thin strips 3. If you prefer a less spicy result, remove the seeds first.

In a large pan, pour the oil, garlic 4, and chili 5. Sauté on very low heat for 2 minutes. To brown them evenly, tilt the pan to gather the oil and seasoning in a small space 6.

Drain the pasta al dente and transfer it to the pan along with a ladle of cooking water 7, then toss everything together. Meanwhile, put the crescenza in a bowl, add 2 ladles of pasta cooking water 8, and blend with an immersion blender until you get a smooth cream 9.

Turn off the heat, add the cream 10, and mix well. Plate and finish with more seasoning 11. Your creamy garlic, oil, and chili pasta is ready to be enjoyed 12!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the creamy garlic, oil, and chili pasta immediately after preparation.

Advice

Tossing the pasta with the heat off is important to ensure the crescenza remains creamy.

You can flavor the dish with spices such as black pepper, smoked paprika, or a pinch of turmeric. If you desire to enrich it further, add crispy pancetta or guanciale!
