Peel and slice the garlic. Finely slice the chili pepper. Wash the basil, pick off the leaves, and finely chop the stems. Cook the spaghetti in salted water as usual. Meanwhile, heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan. Then add the garlic and chili. Once the garlic has taken on a light brown color, add most of the basil leaves and the chopped tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Drain the spaghetti and then add it to the saucepan, mixing well. Season again with sea salt and black pepper. If you like, you can also spice up the sauce with a can of tuna, black olives, and the juice of half a lemon…
