  • 1/4 bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried chili flakes
  • Seasoning to taste

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Large frying pan
  • Colander
  • Tongs

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced garlic to the oil and cook until fragrant and lightly golden.

  4. Add the chopped parsley and chili flakes, then toss to combine.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Helpful tips

  • Add the drained pasta directly to the garlic oil.
  • Serve immediately while the pasta is glossy and hot.
