Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 6 ounces spaghetti (or more, if desired)
  • 3 large-ish garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 big pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Take out a large pot and bring at least 8 cups water to a rolling boil. Add some salt, then plunge in the pasta. Wait for the water to come back to a boil and then cook according to the package directions.
  • While the pasta is cooking, peel the garlic and slice it as thinly as possible.
  • When your pasta is ready, drain it, reserving a little of the cooking liquid in a bowl.
  • Place the pot or a skillet on medium heat and pour in the oil. Add the garlic and chiles and cook briefly, until the garlic just starts to turn golden.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add the drained pasta and maybe 2 to 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid, as much as needed to get your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
