Pasta and Sauce Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    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 rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, then stir in the grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan on top.
