Ingredients
- 2 tsps black food colouring gel
- 500g spaghetti
- 100ml extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 0.5 tsp chilli flakes or chopped red chilli (reduce or remove if not a fan of spice)
- Zest & juice of 1 lemon
- 1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
- Parmesan, finely grated to serve
Method
Step 1
Start by bringing water to the boil in a deep pan and add your food colouring and a pinch of salt. Give a little stir, add your pasta and cook for 10-12 mins.Step 2
When your pasta is around 5 mins from being cooked heat your oil in a large, non-stick pan. Add your garlic and chilli, stir and sizzle until fragrant and your garlic is lightly golden. Reduce your heat to low whilst you drain and rinse your pasta. Add a little more black food colouring and stir if not dark enough.Step 3
Add your pasta to the pan and increase to a medium heat before adding a large pinch of salt and a generous amount of cracked black pepper. Toss about to combine with tongs and add your lemon zest and juice.Step 4
If your spaghetti feels a little dry add another drizzle of oil before turning off the heat. Add half of your parsley and stir through.Step 5
Serve onto plates with another sprinkle of parsley and generous helping of Parmesan for a super simple, quick and spooky dinner this Halloween!
