A classic Italian pasta dish made with garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Quick and easy to prepare.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

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 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
