Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

*An easy and flavorful Italian pasta dish with garlic and olive oil.*
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
- 400g spaghetti
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 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 spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the garlic turns golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
4. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
5. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
