Spaghetti With Olive Oil, Garlic And Pan-Fried Jalapeños

1. 1

   Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the jalapenos, toss well and saute for 5 to 6 minutes until the jalapenos are golden-brown at the edges, tossing only from time to time. Add the garlic, toss again and saute for a few seconds. Be careful not to brown the garlic or it'll become bitter. Remove from heat and set skillet aside.

2. 2

   Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the salt and pasta. Cook the pasta until tender but still al dente. Drain well.

3. 3

   Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to sizzle, add the pasta, reserved pasta water and salt. Toss well and remove from the heat. Divide into pasta bowls, drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
