Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water.
- Add the olive oil to a large saute pan and place over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic is just starting to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it and watch carefully, because garlic can burn quickly and turn bitter. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the pasta and the reserved pasta water to the pan, and toss everything together vigorously to combine.
- Serve with parsley, parmesan cheese, and lemon wedges.
Notes
- Store garlic in a cool dry place, the whole heads can last from 1-3 months if they are fresh to begin with. One you split open a head of garlic, use within 10 days.
