# Pasta Aglio e Olio

A classic Italian dish that comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients.

**Serves:** 2 | **Prep:** 5 min | **Cook:** 15 min

## Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti or linguine
- 80 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1–2 small dried red chilies, crushed (or ¼ tsp chili flakes)
- Salt, for pasta water
- 15 g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan or Pecorino (optional, traditionalists skip it)

## Method
1. **Boil pasta:** Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta until al dente (about 1 minute less than package instructions). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. **Infuse oil:** While the pasta cooks, gently heat the olive oil in a wide pan over low-medium heat. Add the garlic and chilies, and cook slowly for 2–3 minutes until the garlic turns pale golden. **Don't let it brown** — it will turn bitter.
3. **Combine:** Add the drained pasta to the pan with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss vigorously over medium heat for about 1 minute so the pasta absorbs the oil.
4. **Finish:** Add more pasta water as needed to create a light, silky sauce that coats the noodles. Stir in the parsley and season with salt.
5. **Serve** immediately, topped with cheese if using.

## Tips
- Cold olive oil + slow heat = better flavor extraction.
- The starch in the pasta water is key to a glossy, emulsified sauce.

Buon appetito! 🍝
