Ingredients

Steps

Boil the spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente, reserving 1 cup of the water.
Meanwhile warm the oil over medium-low heat and cook the garlic 3–4 minutes until pale gold, then add the chili flakes for 30 seconds.
Add the drained pasta and a big splash of pasta water; toss hard for a minute until the sauce clings.
Off the heat, fold in parsley and Parmesan, season, and serve immediately.

Brown garlic turns bitter — pull the pan early if it colors fast.
