Do you know:
1. Spaghetti: Spaghetti is a type of long, thin pasta made from durum wheat semolina. It is a staple in Italian cuisine and serves as a versatile base for a wide range of sauces and toppings. Spaghetti is a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy, and contains some protein. It is often enriched with additional nutrients such as iron and B vitamins. Its firm texture and ability to hold sauce make it ideal for dishes like spaghetti Bolognese or spaghetti aglio e olio. Spaghetti cooks relatively quickly and can be paired with various ingredients to create numerous flavorful meals.

2. Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is a high-quality oil made from the first pressing of olives, known for its rich, fruity flavor and health benefits. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which support heart health, and contains antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, making it ideal for dressings, drizzling over dishes, or low-heat cooking. Its robust flavor enhances the taste of salads, pasta, and vegetables, making it a versatile and healthful ingredient in various culinary applications.

3. Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is a hard, aged cheese known for its strong, nutty flavor and granular texture. It is made from cow's milk and aged for at least 12 months, which develops its distinctive taste and crumbly texture. Parmesan is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for muscle health and bone strength. It also provides vitamins like A and B12. Parmesan cheese is commonly used as a topping for pasta, salads, and soups, adding a rich, savory depth to dishes. It can be shaved, grated, or crumbled, depending on the desired texture and application.

4. Italian chili: Italian chili, often used in the form of dried chili flakes or fresh chili peppers, adds heat and a subtle, fruity spiciness to dishes. Italian chili peppers are typically less fiery than their counterparts in other cuisines but still provide a warming kick. They contain capsaicin, which has metabolism-boosting properties and may aid in pain relief. Italian chili is commonly used in pasta sauces, pizzas, and marinades to enhance flavor. It also provides a source of vitamins A and C, supporting immune health and adding a vibrant color to dishes.

Weightwatchers (Opt for losing weight):
To make Spaghetti all'Aglio e Peperoncino more weight-loss-friendly, use a smaller amount of extra virgin olive oil to reduce calorie and fat content, or opt for a light olive oil spray. Use whole-grain spaghetti to increase fiber and reduce the glycemic index, which helps with satiety. Limit the amount of grated Parmesan cheese, as it is calorie-dense, or substitute with a smaller amount of a lower-fat cheese. Generously use crushed garlic and finely chopped Italian chili for flavor without extra calories, enhancing the dish's taste while keeping it light. 
Nguyên liệu
  • Crushed garlic (or finely minced if you like eating garlic).
  • Spaghetti
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Finely chopped Italian chili
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
Cách làm
  • Place a pan on the stove, add garlic and chili, and sauté until fragrant; the garlic should not be fried until crispy like garlic chips! 
  • If you eat garlic, just sauté until the garlic is slightly golden. If you don't eat garlic and just want the aroma, remove and discard the garlic when it turns golden.
  • Put a large pot of water on the stove. When the water boils, add salt to make it slightly salty.
  • Add the spaghetti and cook according to the exact number of minutes on the package.
  • Drain the water (do not rinse with cold water; absolutely never rinse with cold water like when cooking Vietnamese noodles). Immediately add the pasta to the hot pan with garlic (heat already off).
  • Mix well to absorb the flavors.
  • Serve on a plate, and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
  • This is an authentic Italian dish!
  • Simple, isn't it?!
