Angel Hair Recipe

Cook the Pasta

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

Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Add Finishing Touches

Stir in the chopped parsley, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well mixed.

Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and cheese if desired.
