If you’ve had a hard day and are looking for a simple but delicious lunch, your search is over. Max Mariola, a famous Italian chef, has created a spaghetti dish so delicious that some of his followers have joked about proposing marriage to him.
Chef Max takes us on a culinary adventure in a charming Instagram video, where he kindly shares his knowledge and techniques for making this delicious meal. Let’s learn the ins and outs of making this Italian delicacy.
The Ingredients:
To embark on this culinary adventure, gather these simple yet flavorful ingredients:
- Fresh parsley
- Spaghetti
- Garlic
- Spicy peppers (dried or fresh)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Step 1: Setting the Stage
To start this gastronomic symphony, heat a lot of extra virgin olive oil in a big pan. Fresh parsley stems and freshly chopped garlic should be added to the oil while it heats. As Chef Max advises, “When the garlic turns a golden hue, remove it from the oil.”
Step 2: Preparing the Pasta
Turn your attention to the pasta while the parsley and garlic infuse the oil with their flavor. To improve the pasta’s taste, salt the water heavily while it boils. When the water comes to a full boil, add the spaghetti and cook it until it achieves the desired texture (al dente).
Step 3: A Symphony of Flavors
Let’s go back to that pot of olive oil cooking on the stove; it’s calling to us. Use freshly grated garlic and spicy peppers to add a new dimension to your oil. If you can’t find fresh red peppers, Chef Max says dried ones are a great substitute.
Add the leftover parsley and some of the pasta boiling water to the pan to enhance the flavor.

Step 4: Uniting the Elements
The moment of truth arrives when the pasta is almost al dente. Gently toss the cooked spaghetti into the pan so that it may absorb the infused olive oil and revel in the symphony of flavors. In the words of Master Chef Max, “Let the pasta absorb all the glorious flavors.”
Step 5: The Final Flourish
Before you dig into your masterpiece, adjust the flavor profile by adding salt and a little more water. Chef Max highly recommends putting some pecorino cheese on top if you want to experience unrivaled joy with every mouthful.
