Pasta Diavolo Semplice

Sometimes all you want to do when you get home is eat a ready meal and watch TV. This dish is so fast, and so easy it will make never eat a ready meal in your life again. The name means the pasta is spicy (diavolo is really devil, but it's getting on the same point), and semplice means easy.

Recipe

Spaghetti or Linguine pasta (gluten free if you need it)

1/2 fresh chopped chili, you can use caynne pepper or dried chili flakes instead too

1 garlic clove (pressed or chopped)

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt

1dl oil

dried parsely, or herbs de provence (any dried herb mix really)

Put water in a pot, bring it to boil, add salt and a dash of oil to the water. Don't add the pasta before the water is actually boiling. Otherwise the pasta will become discusting. Never add a lid, always boil pasta without a lid! Boiling time will vary about 8-12min. Read the lable, and leave the pasta al dente.

In a pan add 1dl of oil, heat it up slightly (low temp) add the chili, and garlic. Let the flavors get heated up and spread in the oil. Finally turn down the heat even more before adding the juice of 1/2 lemon. If you have white wine, this works as a perfect acid as well. Just remember when adding any water based liquid to oil all hell will break lose if the oil is too hot! Finally flavor the heated oil with a little salt and whatever dried herbs you have at home.

Finally pour the pasta through a strainer to remove the water, put it back in the pot. Add the heated oil and do like in the Sopranos: Mix together over heat for about 45sek. This way the flavored oil will get absorbed in the spaghetti. Pour the spaghetti in a bowl, and you are ready to eat! Fast and easy, and really really good..
