Ingredients:

1 pound dried linguine pasta
8 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes feel free to cut back here a little if you want to lower the spice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

Boil 5 quartz of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta and rinse with cold water, you will want to stop the cooking process of the pasta.
In a large skillet heat olive oil over med heat. Add garlic, salt and crushed red pepper to the pan and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute being careful not to burn the garlic. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
Add the linguine to the skillet, add parmesan and parsley and toss to combine. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. If pasta seems too dry add remaining 1/4 cup of pasta water. Turn off heat and leave pasta untouched for 3 minutes so it has a chance to soak up the sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Transfer to pasta bowl and serve with more grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.

Notes

It is important to keep an eye on the garlic. Garlic burns very fast and can make the whole dish taste burnt. Keep the heat on the lower side of medium and only cook 30 seconds to a minute.
