Agilo Olio Spaghetti

Cooking spaghetti: Boil about 4 cups of water with 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add the spaghetti. Don’t break the spaghetti like we do for noodles.

Keep them whole and place in water. Once they start cooking, they will start settling below in the water.

Making spaghetti aglio e olio: Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan.

Keep heat to a low and add finely chopped or minced garlic and salt as needed.

On a low heat, lightly brown garlic with the salt stirring often. Make sure not to burn the garlic.

Add the garlic and olive oil mixture to the cooked spaghetti in the bowl.

Add red chili flakes and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper.

Mix and toss well so that the seasonings, olive and spices coat the spaghetti evenly. Serve Spaghetti Aglio e Olio hot or warm.
