Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set the drained spaghetti aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the garlic and oil mixture.
Slowly add the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, to help loosen the sauce and ensure the spaghetti is well coated.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Transfer the spaghetti to serving plates and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.
