Directions
-
In a large pot, bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil. Add 5g (0.5 tbsp) salt and 90g pasta noodles. Cook for about 7 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
-
Heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over low heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and cooked (avoid browning). Stir in 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper and cook for another minute.
-
Add the drained pasta to the pan, tossing it in the garlic oil mixture. Cook on medium heat for a minute. If there's some moisture left, turn off the heat at this point. Stir in the parsley (if using) and Parmesan cheese. Taste, and if needed, add a pinch of salt.
-
Plate the pasta and top with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped garlic for added flavor. Serve immediately.
