Important suggestions for a 100% Italian meal: 

If the hot chilli peppers are fresh, the first bite will get you on fire! Complement your dish with a glass of red wine to balance the hot taste.

Remember that you should use only garlic and NOT onion at all! Moreover, you should grate only Pecorino on top, and NOT Parmesan! However, if you are not able to find a good Pecorino in your area, we can close an eye ;P
