Angel Hair Pasta with Garlic, Oil and Chilli
Pair with Umani Ronchi Verdicchio
Ingredients (serves 6)
- 150g olive oil
- 1/2 cup (50g) dried breadcrumbs
- 6 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced widthways
- 1 1/2 small red chillies, seeded, finely chopped
- Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 quantity pasta dough (see related recipe), prepared to end of step 4* of basic pasta recipe, or 400g dried spaghettini
Method
- Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes or until golden, then remove from pan. Wipe pan clean.
- Heat remaining oil, garlic and chillies in cleaned pan over low heat for 2 minutes or until oil is hot and garlic is light golden. Add 1 1/2 tsp salt, lemon rind and juice and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Add fresh pasta to a large saucepan of salted boiling water and cook for 20-30 seconds or until it just floats (for dried pasta, cook following packet directions).

Notes & tips
- This classic pasta dish is a dinner staple in Italy. To make it more special, add 250g cooked crab meat or chopped cooked prawns with the breadcrumbs in step 2.
- * Roll pasta sheets out to the thinnest setting, dry slightly, then cut using the thinnest cutters.
