Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

A simple and flavorful Italian pasta dish made with garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Serving size: 2

Ingredients:

- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 60ml olive oil
- 1 tsp 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. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
