1
Cook the Spaghetti
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
2
Prepare the Garlic Oil
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
3
Combine and Toss
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
4
Season and Serve
Stir in the red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
