NOTES
1. Parsley - Although entirely optional, highly recommended as it adds a fresh flavor to this recipe. But, of course, if you go for the classic recipe, you don't add parsley.
2. Parmesan Cheese - If you like, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the spaghetti after serving. Wholly optional, and there will be table companions who find it absolutely unnecessary!
3. Storage
Pasta is best when freshly made. If it stands too long, it absorbs all the moisture and becomes dry. And pasta Aglio, olio e peperoncino is so fast you make it fresh!
