The simplest, loveliest pasta we can think of. Fresh garlic (aglio), good oil (olio) and great Parmesan are key.

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 fresh red chili
• 1 head of spring greens
• 400 g dried spaghetti
• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large unwaxed lemon
• Parmesan cheese

Method: (6 Steps)

• Peel and finely chop the garlic, deseed and finely chop the chili and rinse and finely slice the spring greens.
• Cook the spaghetti in a saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, around 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and chili and fry for a minute or so, until the garlic is starting to color.
• Add the spring greens and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the greens have wilted a little. Finely grate over the lemon zest.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with a splash of the water it was cooked in.
• Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve topped with a drizzle of oil and a wispy pile of finely grated Parmesan.
