    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic and chili once it is glistening slightly.

  • Start a pot of salted boiling water for the pasta.
  • Start the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • Remove garlic cloves once they begin to brown (or leave in if you like the extra punch of flavor).
  • Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
  • Drain the pasta, add to frying pan, and toss with the sauce until coated evenly.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
  • Sprinkle with additional parsley (if desired) and enjoy!

Notes
Traditional recipes do not call for adding any cheese, though many people today add grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano as a finishing touch.
