Recipe Note
Some Tips
1. The pasta water will help thicken the sauce while not overpowering its flavor
2. Feel free to add less/more chili depending on your tolerance to spice
3. Although not a traditional ingredient, some chopped parsley as garnish adds not only color to your dish, but elevated taste
