Spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili pepper Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of spaghetti
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente (cooked but still firm), stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes over medium heat until the garlic is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and return it to the pot.
4. Add the garlic-oil mixture, toss to combine, then add pasta cooking water as needed to create a smooth sauce.
5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and more red pepper flakes, if desired.
