Instructions
1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook for 7-8 minutes or as per the package instructions. Do not overcook it. 2: Reserve some of the pasta water for later use. Drain the spaghetti, toss with some oil and set aside. 3: In a pan, heat olive oil and add sliced garlic. Saute on medium-low heat until it barely starts turning brown. Add the red chili flakes and mix to infuse the flavour into the oil. 4: Add the reserved pasta water and bring it to a simmer. Add the cooked spaghetti and the chopped parsley. Continue cooking on high heat while mixing continuously until it forms a creamy consistency. 5: Adjust the seasoning by adding some salt. Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice and serve warm.View original recipe
