A simple yet luxurious pasta dish made with garlic-infused olive oil and perfectly cooked pasta.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 400 g / 14 oz pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine)

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil

  • 6–8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 120 ml / ½ cup reserved pasta water

  • 40 g / ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in well-salted water until al dente, reserving pasta water.

  • Gently cook garlic in olive oil over medium-low heat until fragrant.

  • Add black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.

  • Toss pasta with garlic oil and pasta water.

  • Simmer briefly until sauce becomes silky and coats pasta.

  • Season with salt and remove from heat.

  • Finish with Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

Cook garlic gently to avoid bitterness. Use pasta water gradually to create a smooth, glossy sauce. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
