Makes: Enough for One
Ingredients
  • • Spaghetti, enough for one
  • • Water, 500-600 ml
  • • Olive Oil, 3 tablespoons
  • • Butter, 1 tablespoons (optional)
  • • Garlic Cloves, 5-6 chopped
  • • Chili Flakes, 2 teaspoons
  • • Salt, to taste
  • • Parmesan Cheese, to sprinkle over top
Method
  1. Boil water with a teaspoon of salt in a large pot. Once boiling, toss in the spaghetti and cook it 1 minute less than what the packet says. Sieve out the pasta once done, but reserve the water. The water has starch that help make the sauce thick.
  2. In a pan, heat olive oil and butter on medium flame. Add in the chopped garlic when the oil and butter are almost heated up. Keep the flame on medium (never high) and slightly brown the garlic.
  3. Once the garlic is golden brown in color and fragrant, toss in the boiled spaghetti to this. Add about ¼ cup of pasta water that you reserved earlier. Season with salt and sprinkle chili flakes, a little bit of parmesan cheese over it. Cook on low flame for a couple of minutes and serve.
