Main Course
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 300 g spaghetti or linguine
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 60 g Parmesan, finely grated
- A pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta Boil the pasta in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of the starchy cooking water before draining.
- Warm the oil and garlic While the pasta cooks, gently warm the olive oil with the sliced garlic and chilli flakes over low heat until fragrant and just golden — do not let the garlic brown.
- Toss and emulsify Add the drained pasta to the pan with a splash of the reserved water and the Parmesan. Toss hard until the sauce turns glossy and clings to the pasta.
- Finish Season with salt and pepper, add a final drizzle of raw olive oil, and serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
