Instructions

  1. Boil the spaghetti in well-salted water until just tender. Save a cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  2. While it cooks, thinly slice the garlic. Warm the olive oil in a wide pan over low heat.
  3. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook gently until the garlic is pale gold — don't let it brown.
  4. Add the drained pasta and a splash of the reserved water, tossing to coat.
  5. Stir in the chopped parsley and salt, and serve at once.
