Ingredients:
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step by Step Guide:
1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water to create a sauce.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the spaghetti until well coated in the oil and seasonings.
5. Serve the spaghetti aglio e olio hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
