Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti noodles fresh
½ cup olive oil with more for drizzling later, good
¼ cup garlic finely minced, fresh
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes if wanted, crushed
Parmesan Cheese for topping if wanted

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles for 5-6 minutes until almost entirely cooked. If you are using packaged noodles, cook to al dente according to instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, add the olive oil & garlic to a large skillet. Fry until the garlic is a soft golden brown. Add in the red pepper flakes and fry for another minute.
Drain the noodles (reserving 1 cup of the pasta liquid to the side) and add to the pan. Pour the reserved liquid over the top.
Simmer the noodles, tossing and turning, until the liquid has been reduced and you get a creamy type coating on the pasta.
Drizzle a bit of fresh olive oil onto the pasta right before serving and top with Parmesan.
Enjoy!
