Instructions
-
1Cook spaghetti in plenty of salted water until al dente. Reserve 2 cups of pasta water generously.
-
2Slice garlic very thinly — do not mince. Slices develop more roasting flavors.
-
3Warm olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add garlic slices and chili.
-
4Over LOW heat, slowly toast for 3–4 minutes until golden. Garlic should turn golden, NOT burn — burnt garlic ruins the dish.
-
5Add 1.7 oz (50 ml) pasta water to the oil-garlic mixture and let it foam — this creates an emulsion.
-
6Add drained spaghetti directly to the pan. Toss, add another 1.7 oz (50 ml) pasta water, and emulsify for 1–2 minutes.
-
7Sprinkle chopped parsley over everything. Toss well.
-
8Plate the pasta. Drizzle cold cannabis olive oil on top. Optional: some Parmesan.
Pro Tips
- The emulsion trick: Pasta water (starch) + olive oil = creamy sauce without cream. More water = more creaminess.
- NEVER brown garlic — golden is the sweet spot. Black = bitter = throw it away.
- Cannabis olive oil doubles down on the olive oil character of the dish without changing it.
- Midnight pasta: this dish comes together in 15 minutes from pantry staples — the favorite of all chefs after their shift.
