Start by washing the zucchinis and trimming the ends. Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler, create thin zucchini noodles, approximately the size and shape of traditional linguini.
Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley leaves finely, and grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown. This should take about 2 minutes.
Add the red pepper flakes to the garlic and oil, stirring briefly to release their heat and aroma.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss well to coat with the garlic-infused oil.
Season the zucchini noodles with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, tossing occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly firm, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the chopped parsley, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly.
To serve, transfer the zucchini aglio olio into serving dishes and sprinkle generously with the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
