A classic Italian dish that shows just how delicious simplicity can be! With only garlic, olive oil, and a sprinkle of chili flakes tossed with al dente spaghetti, this meal is a quick yet satisfying homage to the beauty of good ingredients.
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, finely slice the garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and chili flakes, cooking gently until the garlic is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
Drain the spaghetti and reserve a cup of pasta water.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with garlic oil, tossing to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
Season with salt to taste and stir in chopped parsley for freshness.
Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
