Garlic flavoured speghatti

This is one simple dish , yet tastes so good.

Preparation time : 20 mins
Serves : 2

Ingredients :

Spaghetti : 200 grams
Salt : to taste
Olive oil : 4 Tbsp
Garlic cloves : 2
Red chili flakes : 1/2 Tbsp or to taste
Roughly chopped flat - leaf parsley : 1/4 cup
Pepper : 1/4 tsp or to taste
Freshly grated parmesan : 2 to 3 Tbsp (optionoal)

Method :

Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions.

About 4 minutes before the pasta is ready, heat 3 Tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan and saute the crushed garlic and chili flakes. When the garlic turns nut - brown, add 1/2 cup of hot pasta water to stop the garlic cooking any further. Remove from the heat while you drain the pasta.

Return the pan to high heat and add the pasta, parsley and a little more olive oil. Keep tossing the pasta. The pasta water and oil will emulsify, thickening and coating the spaghetti. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parmesan, if you like.
