# What You'll Need:
→ Pasta
01 - 7 oz dried spaghetti
→ Infused Olive Oil
02 - 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
03 - 4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
04 - 1 tsp red chili flakes
→ Garnish
05 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
06 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
07 - Sea salt, to taste
08 - 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté gently, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Avoid burning the garlic.
03 - Stir red chili flakes into the garlic oil for 10 seconds to infuse flavor.
04 - Add drained spaghetti directly to the skillet. Toss well to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
05 - Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat, toss with chopped parsley, and plate.
06 - Top with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
