Serving
Add a few drops of cold olive oil to the spaghetti alla siciliana, sprinkle them with sweet basil leaves and serve.
Little secret
Move the pasta right out of the hot water into the pot with the sauce. In this way you will add with the pasta also a bit of starch which will naturally add density to the sauce.
