Method

6 steps 10 min prep · 15 min cook

Cook

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add Salt and Spaghetti and cook until just shy of al dente, about 1 minute less than the package directs. Reserve some pasta water, then drain.
Step 2. Meanwhile, warm Olive Oil and Garlic in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir until the garlic is pale golden at the edges, about 3 minutes.
Step 3. Add Red Pepper Flakes and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Take the skillet off the heat if the pasta is not ready.
Step 4. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Toss over medium heat until coated and al dente, about 1 minute, adding more pasta water as needed for a loose sauce.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Take the skillet off the heat. Toss in Fresh Parsley and Parmesan, adding a little more pasta water if needed to coat the strands.
Step 6. Divide among bowls and serve immediately.

Tips

Good to know

Keep the garlic pale golden; dark brown garlic can taste bitter.

Swap it

Use a vegetarian Parmesan-style cheese if you avoid animal rennet.
