Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Colander
  • Tongs

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until garlic is fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add cooked pasta to the skillet with garlic and oil. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water by the tablespoonful as needed to create a sauce.
  4. Add chopped parsley and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Make sure to reserve some pasta water before draining. This starchy water can be used to help create a sauce and bind all the flavors together.
  • If you prefer less heat, you can reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute parsley with other fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
