Instructions

1. Add 1 tablespoon salt to a large pot of boiling water and cook the spaghetti 1–2 minutes less than the packet says.
2. Thinly slice the garlic and cut the dried red chili into rings.
3. Just before the pasta is done, heat the olive oil and garlic in a frying pan over medium heat. When the garlic just starts to turn golden, take the pan off the heat and add the chili. Let it infuse for about 1 minute.
4. Add 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking water and return the pan to the heat. Season with soy sauce and sake and stir until the sauce emulsifies.
5. Add the drained pasta and toss to coat well.
6. Top with shredded nori.
