Ingredients For Spaghetti Aglio e Olio Recipe:

• 8 ounces (about 225 grams) of spaghetti
• 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions to Make Spaghetti Aglio e Olio Recipe:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (usually about 8-10 minutes). Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes or until the garlic is golden but not browned. Be careful not to overcook the garlic, as it can become bitter. Add the cooked and drained spaghetti directly to the skillet with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly with the flavoured oil. If the pasta seems dry, you can add a little bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to create a silky sauce. Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. You can also sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavour if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil for a pop of colour and freshness. Transfer the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio to plates and serve it immediately while it's still hot.

This recipe is not only easy but also incredibly flavourful, with the garlic and red pepper flakes infusing the olive oil, creating a simple yet delicious pasta dish. It's perfect for beginners looking to celebrate National Cooking Day by trying their hand at cooking. Enjoy your culinary adventure!

Wishing everyone a Happy National Cooking Day 2023!
