A quick and simple Italian dish made with garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2
Recipe:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 60ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes

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.
