Recipe for 4 AM Spaghetti for One. Here's a quick and easy to fix pasta that's perfect for a late night snack when you think there's nothing in the house to eat.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces dried spaghettini
- 1 large garlic clove, peeled and trimmed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Espelette pepper, or hot or sweet paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- freshly ground black pepper
- pinch of sea salt
Directions
- 1.Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Add a generous amount of salt and drop in the pasta. Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
- 2. While the pasta is cooking, run the garlic clove all over the bottom of a heated pasta bowl. Pour in the olive oil and sprinkle over the Espelette pepper and oregano. Grind black pepper over the spices. Add a pinch of salt. The mixture should be quite aromatic with overtones of garlic.
- 3. Drain the pasta, leaving some moisture clinging to the spaghetti strands, and transfer to the pasta bowl. Sit down, toss the pasta in the flavored oil, and enjoy your peace and quiet.
