Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

A simple yet flavorful pasta dish featuring garlic and olive oil.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2
Recipe:
- 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)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
7. Serve immediately.
