Meanwhile, slice the garlic thin and chop the parsley.
- Step 3 of 5
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook the garlic slowly until pale gold and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not let it brown.

Add the red pepper flakes, then the drained spaghetti and a big splash of pasta water. Toss vigorously over medium heat until the oil turns glossy and clings to the noodles.
