Preparation:
Heat some oil in a non-stick pan.

Heat the garlic thoroughly. It is important that you can
actually smell the garlic cooking, but it is also important
not to let it burn.
Add the dried peperoncini or hot chilli powder (the
amount used determines how hot this dish is).
Leave everything to fry gently and in the meantime bring
some water to a boil.
Boil the bucatini until al dente and drain immediately.
Mix the bucatini with the garlic and the dried peperoncini
or Hot chilli powder mixture.
Serve immediately and sprinkle with a handful of
grated pecorino.
TIP: Give the hot pasta dish a crunchier texture by
adding fried breadcrumbs. It is best to use white bread
that is several days old. you can make the breadcrumbs
crunchy by frying them in the hot oil after you have
added the garlic.
