Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb spaghetti
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon parsley
1/16 teaspoon red pepper flakes (ie, a pinch)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente.
  • Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimming.
  • Add the garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup of water.
  • Cover and sweat, stirring occasionally, until soft, adding more water if necessary to keep the garlic from caramelizing too much.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the garlic mixture and toss well to combine.
  • Add some pasta cooking water if necessary to bring the dish to a creamy consistency.
  • Serve with more olive oil and the minced tops of the green garlic, and parmesan cheese if desired.
