Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

A simple yet 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 extra virgin olive oil
- 1 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 ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

4. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
5. Season with salt to taste and mix well.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
