Ingredients

    • 200 g spaghetti
    • 4 tbsp olive oil
    • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • ½ tsp red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
    • ½ cup Break of Dawn Parmesan, freshly grated Salt, to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

    • Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
    • In a large skillet over low heat, warm the olive oil and add the sliced garlic. Sauté until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn.
    • Add the red chili flakes and the drained pasta, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce bind to the pasta.
    • Remove from heat and toss with Break of Dawn Parmesan, mixing until the cheese melts slightly and creates a silky coating.
    • Season with a pinch of salt if needed, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
