Italian garlic and olive oil pasta

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 200 ml of the pasta water.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and let it turn lightly golden very gently, without burning.

3. 3

   Add the chili flakes, then a small ladle of pasta water to stop the garlic from coloring further and create a light sauce.

4. 4

   Drain the pasta, add it to the skillet, and toss well to coat. Stir in the parsley and loosen with a little pasta water if needed.

5. 5

   Serve at once while glossy and aromatic.
