Method

  • 1

    Put the clove of garlic and the chilli pepper in a small pan with 40 g of Ogliarola Monocultivar extra virgin olive oil over low heat, so that it does not get too hot.

  • 2

    Then turn off the cooker and leave it to rest for about 10 minutes, so that the oil gets all the aromas.

  • 3

    Allow it to cool and add it very slowly and gradually to the fiordilatte ice-cream. Place the ice cream in the blast chiller.

  • 4

    Toast the breadcrumbs with a drizzle of Ogliarola Monocultivar extra virgin olive oil.

  • 5

    Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water.

  • 6

    When the spaghetti is al dente, drain and pour the pasta in a pan with the remaining extra virgin olive oil

  • 7

    Add a little cooking water and stir well to make it creamier.

 

Food plating

Place the spaghetti in a large dish, sprinkle with grated cheese and the toasted breadcrumbs. Serve with a quenelle of extra virgin olive oil ice-cream.
