- Heat up a large skillet with olive oil on medium heat and cook the sliced garlic stirring constanyl until they start to brown. This will make sure that the oil gets infused with that garlic flavor.
- Once your pasta is cooked, drain completely and immediately transfer to the pan with the garlic. Turning the heat to medium-low.
- At this point, add in your parsley and chilli flakes and stir everything constantly.
