- 1/2 cup pasta water
- 1 handful fresh parsley

While the pasta cooks, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the garlic turns a light golden color. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will become bitter.

Carefully add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the pan with the garlic and oil mixture. Stir well to emulsify the sauce.
⏱️ 1 min

Once the spaghetti is al dente, use tongs to transfer it directly from the pot into the pan with the garlic and oil mixture. Do not drain the pasta completely; the residual water will help the sauce cling to the noodles.

Add the chopped fresh parsley to the pan with the pasta and sauce.
⏱️ 1 min

Toss everything together vigorously in the pan to combine, ensuring the spaghetti is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
