Classic Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

*Simple yet flavorful Italian pasta dish*
*Preparation Time: 20 minutes*
*Serving Size: 2 servings*
Ingredients:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
