Ingredients:

• Top quality spaghetti (300g)

• Garlic (2 cloves per person)
• Parsley (optional)

2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a stainless steel pan on medium-low heat.
3. Crush the garlic into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon until it becomes creamy.
4. Add the parsley stalks for flavor and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Add some pasta water to avoid burning the garlic and help make the pasta creamier.

8. Serve the spaghetti with a sprinkle of parsley and chili flakes (optional).
