Pasta con olio e peperoncino

Pasta with Oil and Red Hot Pepper

This is the recipe I use most often for pasta. It's really easy fast and flavorful. It's the perfect recipe when you don't have time to cook.

Ingredients:

1 lb. pasta short pasta
extra virgin olive oil
ground red hot pepper
fresh ground Italian parmesan


Instructions:

1. Prepare the pasta as directed.
2. While the pasta is cooking prepare the other ingredients.
3. Once the pasta is ready drain it well and then mix in olive oil. Use enough to keep it from sticking and give it flavor, in most cases 2 to 4 Tbsp. will do.
4. Now mix in the red hot pepper add as much as you like. Some people make it very light and others like to make it really hot.
5. Serve hot with some fresh grated parmesan.


Notes:

Use the best ingredients and this dish won't let you down. Optionally you can add a sprinkle of oregano too.
