Devil's Pasta

Submitted by Snowbunny Andorra

"There's many different variations of this, but this is my favourite. It keeps things simple, without a heavy sauce clogging up the pasta. I usually spice it up even more by adding some chopped fresh chili at the end; omit this if you're not up to it! You really have to use dried spaghetti for this recipe, because it needs the time to cook the flavour in, which you wouldn't get with fresh."
