Ingredients
Method
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, season with salt and bring it to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Before draining the pasta, reserve half a cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat up extra virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, allowing it to soften for about 2-3 minutes.
Once the garlic is softened, turn off the heat. Mix in drained pasta and parsley to the sauté pan. If desired, also mix in half of the reserved pasta water.
Season to taste with salt and serve immediately.
