Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1/3 cup of olive oil over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add chili flakes. Add shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  4. Pour in reserved pasta water and bring to a gentle boil. Toss in the drained spaghetti and chopped parsley, coating everything in the garlic-infused oil.
  5. Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan.
