Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with garlic oil. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water as needed.

  4. 4

    Season

    Sprinkle in the red chili flakes and season with salt to taste. Toss again to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
