How to prepare and roast the garlic, it's so easy to mess up everything if this isn't done well. The first time my entire place, not just the kitchen, was smelling like a roasted garlic food truck for days and the result wasn't delicious either. So, following focuses mostly on the garlic part:
- Slice every garlic piece in two halves only and put them with the cut side into the pan
- Add chili to the pan (or just pepper)
- DON'T turn on the heat for the pan yet!
- Now, cook the pasta, 2 min before it's cooked follow the next steps:
- Turn on the pan with the garlic and the chili to the max, NO OIL YET!!!
- Wait 1 min (A) or less if your oven is fast
- Add olive oil to the pan
- Wait 1 min (B) or less if your oven is fast
- Turn off all heat
- Get a very tiny cup from the still boiling noodle water and add it to the pan
- Get the noodles out of the water
- Add the noodle to the pan
- Add lemon juice (not optional) and parsley (optional) to the pan
- stir like a pro
Key is: Don't roast the garlic too long, you can experiment with A and B but in general, the shorter the better. Also do not slice the garlic to fine. As a rule of thumb: The dish got right if you barely taste garlic, the garlic flavor must stay very subtle. And start without oil as stated.
BE CAREFUL: DON'T BURN YOURSELF OR YOUR HOME!
