1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
2
Cook Spaghetti
Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

Reserve Pasta Water
Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
4
Drain Spaghetti
Drain the spaghetti and set aside.

5
Prepare Garlic
Thinly slice the garlic cloves.
6
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
7
Sauté Garlic
Add the sliced garlic to the heated oil and sauté until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
8
Add Red Pepper Flakes
Stir in the red pepper flakes and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
