Ingredients:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 60ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
