Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Steps

1. Cook the spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the water and drain.
2. Warm the oil and garlic in a large pan over medium-low heat, 3 to 4 minutes, until the garlic is pale gold.
3. Add the pepper flakes and 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
4. Add the spaghetti and toss over heat 1 minute, adding more water as needed to make a light sauce.
5. Finish with parsley and cheese.

Keeping and reheating

Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add a spoonful of water before reheating to loosen the sauce.
