Broken Spaghetti Risotto

01Method

1. 1

   Warm the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add the spaghetti pieces, and stir continuously until they turn golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the garlic to the toasted pasta and let it cook for 30 seconds, stirring.

3. 3

   Pour in a splash of broth and raise the heat to medium-high. Keep stirring until all the liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes, then continue adding broth in small increments, stirring between each addition, until all the broth is used up and the pasta reaches the desired tenderness, approximately 10 minutes total.

4. 4

   Lower the heat. Season with red pepper flakes and salt, then remove the pan from the heat.

5. 5

   Fold in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley, then serve immediately.
