1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Prepare the Garlic Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3
Combine Pasta and Garlic Oil
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to coat the pasta with the oil and garlic. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time.
4
Finish the Dish
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt to taste. If desired, serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
