Ingredients:
1 lb spaghetti
6 -8 garlic cloves, sliced fine NOT MINCED
1/2 cup olive oil, I use flavored
2 -3 tablespoons dried chilies ( or if not red pepper flakes work fine)
salt, fresh ground pepper, herbs ( to taste)
1 cup water, from pasta pot
Directions:
Put pasta in pot to boil over high heat. I usually put in oil, some salt, and fresh herbs in mine. Boil till tender, save 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain pasta.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Pour oil in skillet. When hot put garlic in it. Swirl around till fragant, about 3-4 minute.
Add spices and pasta. Add water, a little bit at a time, till pasta does not look dry but is not swimming in liquid either. Add 1/4 cup at a time. Toss to incorporate all together.
Enjoy!
