*Simple and flavorful Italian pasta dish made with garlic and olive oil.*
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
