Step 1

Cook 4 ounces (115 grams) of spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic turns golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic and oil. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the oil mixture. Cook for an additional minute or two, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is heated through.

Step 4

Season with salt to taste. You can also add additional red pepper flakes if you prefer it spicier.

Step 5

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the pasta before serving. This adds extra flavor and freshness.
