Traditionally this recipe isn’t served with and cheese but by all means add some freshly grated Parmesan to top this off.

Instructions:

1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add sea salt. Add spaghetti and cook for 7 minutes (2 minutes less than package instructions).
2. In a cold skillet, pour olive oil and add sliced garlic. Cook on high heat, stirring constantly until garlic just begins to sizzle (about 1 minute), but do not let it brown.
3. Once pasta is 75% cooked, carefully add pasta water to the skillet and let it bubble for 30 seconds to create an emulsion.
4. Add cooked pasta to the skillet with some reserved pasta water. Stir well until pasta is coated in the garlic-oil sauce.
5. Stir in chili flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
6. Toss everything together and serve by twisting pasta into bowls. Enjoy your simple, flavorful Spaghetti Aglio E Olio!
