1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

While the spaghetti is cooking, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

3

In a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss gently to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a sauce.
