A classic Italian pasta dish made with spaghetti, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, parsley, and optional Parmesan cheese.
0 oz
Garlic Clove, thinly sliced
each
teaspoons
to taste
Flat Leaf Parsley, finely chopped
cups
Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
to serve
1. Cook Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Reserve about half a cup of the pasta water and drain the spaghetti.
2. Prepare Garlic and Oil Sauce
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the thinly sliced garlic, and cook until golden, being careful not to burn it. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and allow them to bloom in the oil.
3. Combine Spaghetti and Sauce
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic-infused oil. Toss well to coat. If dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve a silky sauce consistency.
4. Finish with Parsley and Serve
Stir in the fresh parsley, and serve immediately with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
