Save a cup of pasta water before you drain it and now we make the sauce. In a frying pan that’s large enough to hold all the spaghetti later, drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil and let it get shimmery on medium heat. I’ll add all the garlic in and let it cook in a single layer, just until the slivers get golden brown. If you want this a little spicy, you can also add some chili flakes too. So once it looks how you want it and the garlic is nice and fragrant, we’ll add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to stop the frying, and it’ll get the garlic nice and soft and create a sauce that will cling to our pasta. Once the sauce has reduced a bit, we’ll add our cooked pasta in, along with ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, our parsley. Turn off the heat and mix mix mix. Now we just simply plate and enjoy the pasta either as a side or a main.
