One of the most comforting dishes that I always cook at home is pasta.

I love experimenting with different sauces.

Luckily, I have all that is needed.

It turned out so good!

I didnt expect that this simple recipe can have a depth of flavor.

It also has a kick of spiciness from the chili flakes making this pasta even more fantastic.

Once cooked, take some pasta water and strain it.

Place a pan over low heat and pour 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Add in the garlic immediately after you put in the olive oil to not burn the garlic.

While its simmering, chop the flat-leaf parsley into fine pieces.

Add a teaspoon of dried chili flakes into the pan.

Once the garlic becomes slightly brown remove it from heat.

Toss all of the ingredients together.

If its a bit dry, you’re able to add some pasta water.

Add more parmesan cheese if needed.
