Steps
Making Spaghetti with garlic, oil, chili, and walnuts is very simple and quick:
Put a pot with plenty of water on the fire to cook the spaghetti.
Shell the walnuts, preferring those with Sorrento shells, or the “malizia” quality (they are the best, it’s very important to use those with the shell and not the pre-shelled kernels), chop the walnut kernels (leave some kernels coarser), set them aside.
Rinse the parsley and chop it, keep it aside for the end.
Peel the garlic cloves, remove the central germ, and crush them, you can also chop one.
Put a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick pan and heat over a very low flame: add the crushed and chopped garlic, a grind of pepper, the chopped or broken chili if fresh, the chopped walnut kernels, and let it infuse always on very low heat, continuously shaking the pan.
Once the garlic is golden, turn off the heat and add some of the chopped parsley.
As soon as the water for the spaghetti comes to a boil, add the spaghetti, salt, and cook the spaghetti 4 minutes less than the time indicated on the package.
At this point, use tongs to remove the spaghetti and place them in the pan with the sauce, from which you have removed the whole garlic, add some of the spaghetti’s cooking water and start stirring continuously with a wooden fork to release the starch from the pasta, continue cooking the pasta this way, gradually adding some of the spaghetti’s cooking water until the spaghetti is al dente and a “creamy” sauce forms at the bottom.
Add the remaining chopped parsley, stir, and serve immediately.
The Spaghetti with garlic, oil, chili, and walnuts are ready to be enjoyed… Bon appétit!
