Method
Preparation
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 pasta.
Prepare the Garlic Oil
While the pasta is cooking, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a silky sauce. Stir in the red pepper flakes and season with salt to taste.
Finish and Serve
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the pasta. Toss everything together once more and serve immediately.
