Method

  1. Fill the large pot with water, add the salt, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. 10:00
  2. While the water heats, thinly slice the garlic and roughly chop the parsley. 5:00
  3. Drop the spaghetti into the boiling water and cook until just shy of al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining. 8:00
  4. Warm the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and saute gently until the garlic turns pale gold - do not let it brown. 3:00
  5. Transfer the spaghetti into the skillet with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss and stir over medium heat until the sauce clings, about 2 minutes. 2:00
  6. Off the heat, fold in the parsley and parmesan. Taste, adjust salt, and serve immediately. 1:00
