Ingredients
- Spaghetti
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Red pepper flakes
- Parsley
- Parmesan cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and add a solid amount of salt. Bring it to a furious boil, which is crucial for good flavor. After adding the spaghetti, observe the way it dances in the water. It’s a culinary spectacle! When it’s done, it’ll feel firm but pleasant when bitten into.
Select fresh bulbs of garlic—no need for anything aged here! Carefully peel each clove, then slice them thinly. The more slices, the more flavor! Keep an eye on that garlic; it’s your flavor powerhouse.
Choose a good quality olive oil. When pouring it into the skillet, watch it coat the pan in a glossy sheen. A medium heat allows the oil to infuse flavors without burning the garlic later. Patience is key here!
As the garlic hits the hot oil, it’ll begin to release its aromatic oils—this is when your kitchen transforms into a little Italian trattoria. Keep stirring gently; the goal is golden, not charred.
Once the spaghetti is drained, quickly introduce it to the garlic-infused oil. You’ll hear that delightful sizzle as they meet. If the dish seems dry, play magician with pasta water; it’s the ultimate trick for moisture.
Sprinkle salt and red pepper flakes directly in, tossing everything to guarantee each bite is packed with flavor. Garnish with herbs or cheese, and then dive in—you’ve just created a masterpiece!
