Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the garlic is golden but not burnt, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to coat the spaghetti in the oil and garlic. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
