Point in check
Because the boiling point of olive oil is quite low, I put the ingredient in the order, dry hot pepper, sliced garlic, freshly grated garlic. If the garlic is fresh, or fresh raw chili pepper is available, you don’t have to stir fry for a long time. It is good to check the taste of the source before putting in the boiled pasta. If it is too hot put more boiled
water to make the taste a little weaker. Make sure to put the freshly grated garlic in before the sliced garlic turns brown. Also, make sure not to stir fry the freshly grated garlic too long. Check the taste of the pasta before and after, putting in the basil.
Personal Comments
There is a way to make the pasta and sauce separately and blending the boiled water and sauce afterwards. However, since I am a beginner, I blended in them in the pan.
The taste depends on how fresh the chili pepper and garlic are. This time the sliced garlic was not so fresh, so I used freshly grated garlic to make the taste a little stronger. If you use raw fresh chili pepper it will create a hot taste. This time I used dry peppers instead. It is important to adjust the taste when you prepare the dish.
