Ingredients
Method
1.Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and while it cooks, prepare the rest of the dish.
2.Add the oil, chilli, lemon peel and garlic to a small saucepan. Heat until just warm and keep it at this temperature for 10-12 minutes while the pasta cooks to infuse flavour into the oil.
3.Drain the cooked pasta, saving ¼ cup of the starchy pasta water. Return the pasta and water to the saucepan, then toss in half the infused oil, parsley and walnuts. Toss well.
4.Serve in bowls with a shower of grated Parmesan cheese, extra walnuts and the remaining oil on the side.
Note
- Add 1-2 anchovies for extra saltiness or try frying off chorizo or bacon pieces and adding if you need the extra protein.
