- 75ml high-quality olive oil
- 8 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- Salt to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes and fresh parsley for seasoning; shredded parmesan for serving

- Meanwhile, combine olive oil and garlic in a large sauté pan. Stir until garlic is lightly browned over medium heat. Add in parsley and red pepper flakes, if using.
- Dump pasta to the pan along with pasta water and increase heat to high.
- Continue to constantly stir and toss until a creamy, emulsified sauce coats the noodles. Top with shredded parmesan, and serve right away.
