Linguine with Garlic and Olive Oil Recipe

Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Remove skillet from heat, and add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss until pasta is coated evenly with oil mixture.

If pasta seems too dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Sprinkle with salt and chopped parsley, and serve hot.
