MEET THE CHILI

Peperoncino from the toe of Italy

Calabria, the toe of Italy's boot, is famous for its love of peperoncino. Chili goes into sausages, sauces, oils and spreads, and dried flakes sit on almost every table.

This jar holds crushed Calabrian chili pepper and nothing else. The label calls it ready to use as a topping and on pizza, pasta and sauce, and marks it hot, so start with a pinch.

Sprinkle it over spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino made with our Gragnano spaghetti, stir it into marinara or add it to garlic infused olive oil for a spicy dip. Pair it with our Calabrian oregano.

Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino

Italy's midnight pasta: garlic, olive oil and chili. Fifteen minutes from pantry to plate.

15 minServes 2

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Gragnano spaghetti
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp Calabrian chili flakes
  • A handful of chopped parsley
  • Salt for the pasta water

Method

  1. Cook the spaghetti in well-salted boiling water according to the package. Save 1 cup of the pasta water.
  2. While it cooks, warm the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over low heat until the garlic is pale golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili flakes and cook 30 seconds more.
  3. Add the drained spaghetti and a splash of pasta water. Toss over medium heat until the sauce turns silky.
  4. Toss in the parsley and serve right away.

Don't let the garlic brown, or it turns bitter. Start with less chili and add more to taste.
