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 (adjust to taste)

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