Luce's Spaghettini
- 8 ounces spaghettini
- kosher salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 3 dried hot chili peppers (Calabrian) or 3 dried arbol chiles
- 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat both oils and garlic in a large heavy deep skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is almost blackened all over, 79 minutes (the long cooking time deepens the flavor).
- Tear peppers in half; add seeds and pods to skillet.
- Cook, stirring often, until seeds are dark brown, about 2 minutes.
- Discard garlic and pods, leaving seeds in oil.
- If pasta isnt ready yet, remove skillet from heat; set aside.
- Once pasta is cooked, reheat garlic-chile oil until it shimmers.
- Using tongs, transfer pasta with some water still clinging to it from pot to skillet (it will splatter; the starchy water helps form the sauce).
- Add 2 tbsp pasta cooking liquid; remove skillet from heat; toss just until evenly coated, adding more cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if dry.
- Divide pasta among bowls and garnish each with 1 tbsp Parmesan.
