Ingredients

  • 8 oz Spaghetti / 220g Spaghetti 🍝
  • 1 clove garlic 🧄
  • 1 cup basil leaves, loosely packed, plus extra for garnish 🌿
  • 3 red chilis (adjust to your spice preference) 🌶️
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water or oil-packed and drained 🍅
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 🫙
  • 1/2 tsp salt 🧂
  • 1/4 tsp cracked pepper
  • 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Boil your pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente (cooked but still a bit firm).
  2. While the pasta cooks, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, and chili peppers.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped tomato mixture, and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the pasta and some of the reserved water (a few tablespoons) to the pan with the tomatoes. Toss everything together to coat.
  5. Serve topped with fresh basil leaves and cracked pepper. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil and some extra coarse sea salt for more flavor, if desired.
  6. Enjoy this delicious and easy meal!
