Vejledning

1 Bring a stockpot of water to a boil and salt it. Put the oil, garlic, red pepper if you're using it, and a pinch of salt in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the garlic just turns golden but not brown, 2 to 4 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit.

2 When the water boils, cook the pasta until it is tender but not mushy; start tasting after 5 minutes. When it's done, scoop out and reserve at least 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.

3 Return the sauce to medium heat and stir once in a while until it's hot again. Add the pasta to the sauce in the skillet along with a splash of the cooking water and toss to coat, adding a little more oil or cooking water if necessary to create a slightly creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or red pepper, then toss with the parsley if you're using it and serve.
