Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions in salted boiling water. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic and oil.
- Toss well to coat the pasta evenly.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss continuously until a light sauce forms and coats the pasta. Add more pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and optional Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Use good quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Don’t overcook the garlic; it should be golden, not brown.
