Pasta with olive oil, garlic and chilli
Serves two
This dish is both classic and simple, which makes it a great choice when inviting a few friends over for a meal. Better yet, it takes only minutes to prepare and is easy on your budget.
You will need:
225g (8 oz) fresh or dried pasta
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Sprig of fresh parsley
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to tasteFirstly, wash your hands with warm, soapy water and put on a clean apron.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil making sure the handle of the pot isn’t over the edge of the cooker or other rings. Add a dash of salt and slowly add the pasta to the water. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together. Follow the instructions on the pasta packet for cooking time, then strain and pour into a serving bowl. Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking.
Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and add the garlic, chilli and black pepper. Cook at moderately high heat for about two minutes to infuse the flavours into the oil. If oil spills onto the hob, be sure to wipe it up as soon as the surface is cool. Mix into the pasta, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Try serving with a fresh side salad.

how to boil an egg:
*seriously i just learned to boil an egg perfectly this is the way
bring a pot of water to a boil .. turn the heat off .. place the eggs in and let sit covered for 14 minutes
if your eggs have a greenish grey outer coating on the yolk that means they are overcooked ... that won't happen with this process
i boil a dozen on sunday and grab some in the mornings because i'm super lazy about breakfast
plus it's like easter all the time : D

how many eggs is that for, as more eggs will cool the water down quicker. I love a nice cold boiled egg. I'm starving

If your cvooking for a gilr, take this advice from my Italian ass.
Tagliatelle with salmon and cream, very east to make, looks amazing and tastes even better, and theyll thing your a chef. dont forget to shave.
Heat up some butter, add a clove of chopped garlic till for a little while just before it turns colour.
Add 4 slices of chopped salmon for 2 minutes,Boil your tagliatelle, only takes 3 mins
Add the drained tagliatelle to the salmon in the pan, at very very vdery vdery low hear, add the double thick cream, and loads of pepper
Serve on a plate, add another 2 chopped salmon slices on the top with a good helping of chpped parsely so gice it some colour.
Total time about 10 minutes, lets just hope your laove making will ast longer...baby!

i came up with this while very poor in college.
sun-dried tomato pasta with red wine
simmer a palmful of sun dried tomatoes in a small amount of water to soften. while you do this, dice and fry a clove or two of garlic in olive oil and prepare whatever kind of pasta you have in the house. chop up the tomatoes and add with a splash of wine and red pepper flakes to the garlic pan and simmer a bit. when the pasta is ready just toss it in.
serve with any kind of hard grated cheese and some bread.
super easy, super cheap.

classic italian tomato sauce + penne:
penne pasta + a can of chopped tomato, tomato paste, garlic, origanum, olive oil and one whole carrot in a saucepan on low for 30-45 min. the longer and slower you let it simmer the richer it gets. the carrot is for taste, remove it afterwards. serve sauce over penne, or sear chicken breasts in a pan and serve with sauce over penne.
