SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC & OLIVE OIL

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.
