Real Italian spaghetti with garlic

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite (about 10-12 minutes).

Drain the pasta and place it in a bowl.

Сombine olive oil and garlic in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat to slowly toast garlic (about 10 minutes). Reduce heat to medium-low when olive oil begins to bubble. Cook and stir until garlic is golden brown, about another 5 minutes.

Stir red pepper flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into pasta.

Pour in hot olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on chopped fresh Italian parsley and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Mix all ingredients well and serve topped with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
