You Can't Handle this Pasta! 🇮🇹 Sicilian Carrettiera Spaghetti

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor while being dairy-free.

Boil water in a large pot.

Peel the tomatoes quickly.

Add spaghetti to the boiling water.

Prepare the condiment while the pasta cooks: add olive oil to a bowl.

Crush garlic and add it to the olive oil to infuse.

Add three Calabrian chilis to the mixture.

Grate pecorino cheese and set aside.

Prepare optional toasted breadcrumbs for added crunch.

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve one ladle of hot pasta water.

Mix the reserved pasta water with the grated pecorino to create a creamy paste, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 60 Celsius to avoid clumping.

Combine the cooked spaghetti with the condiment and plate it.
