  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup pecorino romano

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes; reserve 1 cup pasta water.
  2. Thinly slice garlic and warm it gently in olive oil over medium-low heat until pale gold, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add red pepper flakes and a splash of pasta water, swirling to form a light sauce.
  4. Toss drained pasta in the oil, adding pasta water as needed to coat evenly.
  5. Finish off heat with chopped parsley and, if you like, grated pecorino; season and serve.
