Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

400g/14oz spaghetti
90ml/6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
60ml/4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve (optional)

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water.

In a large frying pan heat the oil and gently saute the garlic until barely golden. Do not let it brown or it will taste bitter. Stir in the chopped

fresh parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat until the pasta is ready.

Drain the pasta when it is barely firm. Tip it into the pan with the oil and garlic, and cook together for 2-3 minutes, stirring well to coat the

spaghetti with the sauce. Serve at once in a warmed serving bowl, with some Parmesan.
