Free food & cooking tip: Dinner 1: Aglio e olio in 20 minutes (step 5 of 12 from "Complete Weeknight Kitchen Masterclass").

400 g spaghetti, salt the water heavy. While boiling: slice 6 garlic thin, ½ tsp chili flake, 120 ml olive oil in cold pan. Cook pasta 1 min shy of package.

Reserve 250 ml pasta water. Heat oil low — garlic golden not brown. Toss pasta + water off heat until glossy. Parsley, lemon optional. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Emulsion happens off heat. If it pools, add splash of water and toss harder.
