Aglio e Olio (Garlic Oil spaghetti)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cook the spaghetti in 4 litres of boiling water with 2 teaspoons of salt, for the packet time minus 1 minute.
2. Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
3. Four minutes before the pasta is ready, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
4. Add the sliced garlic and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, until very lightly golden. Do not rush this, as it flavours the oil.
5. Add the chilli flakes and stir for 20-30 seconds, until the garlic is light golden but not brown.
6. Add the drained pasta, ½ cup (125 ml) of the reserved cooking water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss over medium-high heat for about 1-1½ minutes, until the oil and water form a sauce that clings to the pasta. Add more water if the pasta gets sticky.
7. Add the parsley and toss quickly.
8. Serve immediately with grated parmesan.
