oil.
• Cook for 1 minute to infuse the garlic into the oil.
• Add dried chilies and cook for additional minute, stirring constantly.
• Add parsley and salt, cook another minute while stirring.
• Add cooked pasta, toss well, arrange on heated serving platter and sprinkle
with black pepper.
• Very few Italian dishes are served without cheese, this is one of them, you
do not want to "mask" the true flavor of the olive oil.
• A variation of this dish is to add sautéed chicken or shrimp.
