Step 1
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salty boiling water until al dente.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, the crushed pepper, and cook gently for a few minutes, or until the garlic is pale gold, take care not to burn it! Stir in chopped parsley.
Step 3
Drain the spaghetti "al dente" and reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water.
Step 4
Add spaghetti to the pan, stir well to coat with the oil, add some starchy cooking water to ensure the pasta is moist and juicy*.
Step 5
Cook on medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring a couple of times. Sprinkle the spaghetti with extra chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese if you don't keep it vegan. Serve immediately.
