I’m an Italian chef and this is the mouthwatering (and very simple) spaghetti recipe I make after a long night

A professional chef has revealed the ultimate comfort recipe that all Italians have mastered.

Max Mariola‘s aglio olio peperoncino spaghetti recipe is the ‘perfect’ dish to book a long day – and foodies can’t resist making it again.

The simple recipe calls for parsley, spaghetti, garlic, spicy peppers and olive oil – and takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.

“This is what Italians need after a long day,” Mariola said of the “groundbreaking” pasta dish.

The Italian chef first finely chopped the parsley and garlic, while at the same time heating olive oil in a large pan.

Then he put the parsley stems and garlic in the olive oil and let it brown before taking it out.

The chef cautioned against letting the garlic burn too much during this step.

While the oil was left on the stove, Mariola put the pasta in salted water and let it boil.

Meanwhile, Mariola grated garlic on top of the olive oil, followed by red and green chillies.

For the next step, the chef added the chopped parsley and some cooking water to the oil and the spaghetti al dente in the pan.

“Let the pasta soak up all the flavor,” the chef advised.

He then added more salt and pasta water and finally finished the meal with peperoncino cheese.

Thousands of foodies flocked to the comments to praise Mariola’s delicious dish.

“Oh my god, my dad used to make this for me when I was sad,” one woman shared.

“Looks amazing, gotta try it tonight,” wrote another.

“I love your pasta, it has so much dimension.” said a third.
