- Bring a large pot of cold water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of kosher salt, then stir in the spaghetti. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (tender but not soft), about 8 minutes. Imagine the sizzle of garlic waiting to transform your pasta!
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes. Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and turns light golden, about 8 minutes. This aromatic base will make your kitchen smell irresistible.
- Drain the spaghetti, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Add the pasta and water to the skillet. Toss everything together until glossy and infused with flavor. Stir in parsley and lemon zest (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately in a big bowl or on plates, topped with cheese if desired. Dive inthis simple dish bursts with fresh, zesty perfection that'll have everyone craving seconds!
