How to make delicious pasta, aglio, olio e peperoncino?
This version, not far from the original one, is delicious, the difference is just blended cherry peppers. They offer a relatively high spicy taste for their tiny size and an added hint of sweetness. Blend them with garlic, oil, half of the serrano pepper, sardines, and sauté everything in a pan with the linguine al dente and then the rest of the serrano peppers can be cut into small strips.

For those who can not tolerate garlic (because of digestion issues) just immerse the garlic in a saucepan with cold water and bring it to a boil. In this way, the garlic will lose some of those substances that make it harder to digest.
