How to Make Phil's Garlic And Oil Sauce

  1. Boil your pasta according to package directions.
  2. While the pasta boils, gently heat 1/4 cup fruity extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
  3. Add 6-8 cloves of thinly sliced garlic to the oil. Cook slowly for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and softened – do not brown.
  4. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat).
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the garlic oil sauce. Toss to coat.
  7. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese (optional).
