Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti, uncooked
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup parmesan, grated, optional
Directions
Step 1 -Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to al dente, following package directions, for about 8-12 minutes.
Step 2 -While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium to medium-low heat.
Step 3 -Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the garlic is just golden, for about 2 minutes.
Step 4 -Add the red pepper flakes.
Step 5 -Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 6 -Once the pasta is done cooking, transfer it to the skillet with at least 1/2 cup of the pasta water. The pasta water adds starch, which helps bind the sauce to the pasta.
Step 7 -Toss the pasta.
Step 8 -Add the parsley and parmesan and toss to combine.
Step 9 -Serve hot!
