Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled & chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • hot pepper flakes to taste, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil and garlic over medium heat in a heavy saucepan until the garlic begins to turn pale gold. (Please, take the time to smell the cooking garlic and oil)
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and add ¾ of the parsley, salt & pepper to taste.
  3. Drain the pasta and combine with the sauce in a separate bowl and toss until all the spaghetti is coated. (if I'm not entertaining, I will often use the same pot as I cooked the pasta in so I have one less pot to clean)
  4. Serve onto warmed plates and use the remaining parsley to garnish and serve immediately.
