A classic Italian pasta dish that is simple yet full of flavor. Perfect for a quick dinner!
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients:
- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 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 spaghetti.

3. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
4. Season with salt to taste and toss in the chopped parsley.
5. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
