Flint's Aglio Olio

Aglio Olio

Ingredients
• 110 g spaghetti
• 2 g garlic, sliced 
• 2 g chilli flakes
• 4 g butter 
• 2 g Parmesan 
• salt to taste 
• black pepper to taste
• parsley, to garnish
• olive oil

Method
Take a big pot, add lots of salt. Boil the spaghetti. Save 1 cup water before draining.

Take a pan on low heat. Add olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes.

Let it gently sizzle till garlic is just golden.

Take the pasta straight from pot to pan.

Splash pasta water in. Toss, 1-2 minutes, on medium heat. The starch + oil should make a glossy sauce to coat the pasta. Add more water if it looks dry.

Turn off the heat, drizzle more raw olive oil, add Parmesan over, a pinch of salt, parsley and black pepper.
