Recipe Name: Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Ingredients:
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Step by Step Guide:
1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water 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, and cook until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss well to coat the spaghetti in the garlic-infused oil. Add more pasta water if needed to create a silky sauce.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss in the chopped parsley. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve the spaghetti aglio e olio hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
