Pasta

Method

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 about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aglio e Olio Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the red chili flakes to the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds. Then, add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the oil and garlic. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately with extra chili flakes and olive oil on the side.
