Spicy Noodle is well and good if you want to maximise the value of your health insurance.

also, not a mention of SPICY NOODLE!

you are letting me down jebjeb! :)

Seriously, I’ve done spicy spaghetti, it’s fantastic. And also every casserole, stir fry, chili con carne (obviously), and roasted and/or barbecued meat has benefited from the addition of hotness.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE MEAL THAT CAN NOT BE IMPROVED BY THE ADDITION OF SPICE AND HEAT.

Except beef stroganoff. Don’t do it on beef stroganoff.

(And I liked the chili Tim Tams, in a weirdly perverted way.)

…don’t get me started on chilli flavoured tim tams.

Put a finger-to-thumb size of spaghetti on to boil in some very salty water (your ratio depends on your hunger). Slice up a couple of garlic cloves into very very thin slices. Put a teaspoon or so of butter into a frypan and add the garlic. Cook it at medium temperature until the garlic is melty. Or you can just use olive oil, but you will need to be careful with the heat cos it will burn easier than butter. Let the garlic simmer in your tasty tasty fat for a while, until the spaghetti is almost done. Add a buttload of chilli flakes, or if you don’t have any, wait. Drain the spaghetti when it’s al dente, and toss it in the pan with extra olive oil, freshly chopped herbs if you like, or cheese like feta or camebert if you like, and perhaps some nuts, if you like, and chilli powder. The key ingrediants are the oil, garlic and chili. Add a little extra oil, let it glisten, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mmm carby.
