1
Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
2
Prepare the Garlic Oil
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3
Combine and Toss
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve your desired sauce consistency.
4
Season and Serve
Stir in the chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
