Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a pinch or two of sea salt.
2. Finely slice the garlic cloves, then cut them into thin strips and then into smaller pieces.
3. Chop the parsley finely, including the stems.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and the garlic, and stir gently with a wooden spoon.
5. Let the garlic simmer for about 3-4 minutes, then add a ladle of pasta water to the garlic mixture.
6. Cook the spaghetti for 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the package says. Drain it, then transfer to the pan with a little pasta water using long tongs.
7. Toss the pasta well in the oil, add a very generous amount of chopped parsley and toss again.
8. Turn the heat up to high and keep stirring for one more minute until the pasta and garlic are well combined.
