Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

A classic Italian pasta dish that is simple, flavorful, and quick to prepare.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2 servings
Recipe:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 60ml extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Season with salt to taste and toss in the chopped parsley.
5. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
