Free food & cooking tip: Garlic in cold oil (step 3 of 8 from "Weeknight Pasta Lab").
Slice 4 cloves thin. Put them in a skillet with 4 Tbsp olive oil while the pan is still cold. Medium-low until the garlic is pale gold — not brown. Add a pinch of chili flakes for 10 seconds.
Toss 200 g spaghetti with the oil, 80–120 ml pasta water, and chopped parsley. Plate immediately. Burnt garlic is bitter and you cannot hide it.
