Method
- Slice the garlic cloves and warm them with chili flakes in the olive oil over low heat until fragrant, not brown.
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water until just shy of al dente. Reserve pasta water.
- Transfer the spaghetti to the pan of olive oil and finish cooking with splashes of pasta water so the sauce emulsifies.
- Off the heat, toss with chopped parsley. Taste for salt and serve at once.
Shopping tip
Dried chili flakes are easier to dose than fresh malagueta. Use a decent extra-virgin olive oil; it is the sauce.
