Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the garlic and oil. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired sauce consistency.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Stir in the red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
