When I do not have enough time to cook something complex, I usually go for some pasta. This is one of our favorite recipes.
Ingredients:
100g Spaghetti - my favorite pasta brand is Garofalo
1 Onion
2-3 Garlic Cloves
1 Chili Pepper
Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
Olive Oil
any vegetables you like, want, or have in a fridge:
Tomato
Pepper
Zucchini
Asparagus
Carrots
Italian Herbs...etc.
Directions:
1. Heat deep pan, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil
2. Add chopped onion and garlic, fry until golden
3. Cut all the vegetables into similarly sized cubes
4. Add vegetables to the pan
5. Then add chili pepper seeds and Italian herbs
6. In a separate pot boil water, then add sea salt to taste and 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, cook spaghetti until "al dente"
7. When spaghetti is ready, add them to the vegetables, mix everything well and take off the fire
8. Add a little bit of water in which spaghetti was boiled, 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs and cheese of your choice
9. Serve :)
Buon Appetito!
