Ingredients

• 100-150 g spaghetti
• olive oil
• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• black pepper
• Italian parsley

Procedure

• Boil spaghetti in sufficiently salted water until al dente.
• Peel cloves of garlic and squeeze them softly with the heel of hand.
• Chop parsley.
• Heat olive oil (2-3 mm high) in a pan. Add garlic, and cook until it takes on a golden color. Take care not to let the garlic get too dark, as it will become bitter.
• Remove garlic from the oil.
• Drain the finished spaghetti and add to the pan with olive oil.
• Spice with pepper, mix everything, and serve with parsley.

Variations

• For a stronger taste slice the garlic and leave in the olive oil when adding the pasta.
• Fry the parsley in the oil.
• Add butter to the oil.

Note
