Directions:Directions for the Sauce:
1. In a sauté pan, heat ¾ cup of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Once the oil begins to simmer, add one head of peeled and sliced garlic along with 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes.
3. Stir the mixture and continue to cook until the garlic is lightly golden brown, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
4. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
Directions for Making the Dish:
1. Begin by boiling a large pot of water. Generously salt the water to enhance the pasta's flavor.
2. Add 350 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook it until it's al dente, meaning it's still slightly firm under the bite.
3. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it, reserving about half a cup of the pasta water.
4. Reduce the heat of the sauté pan with the oil and garlic mixture to medium-low.
5. Add the drained spaghetti and ½ cup of fresh, chopped parsley to the sauté pan. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the garlic oil.
6. If the pasta appears dry, incorporate the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
7. Optionally, sprinkle ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta before serving for added flavor.
Serve the pasta hot, and enjoy a simple yet flavorful meal. |
