Ingredients

• 400 grams gluten-free spaghetti
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 15 grams fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 50 grams parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, slice the garlic cloves thinly and chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is warmed, add the sliced garlic. Stir frequently and cook until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.

Step 4

Add the red chili flakes to the garlic oil and stir for an additional 30 seconds, infusing the oil with a hint of spice.

Step 5

Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

Step 6

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic and chili oil mixture. Toss the pasta gently to coat it evenly. If the mixture seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

Step 7

Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and add the chopped parsley, tossing again to distribute.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately, enjoying the simple, rich flavors of this classic Italian dish.
