   While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-low heat.

4. 4

   Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.

   Cirka 3 min

   Kockens tips: Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will turn bitter.

5. 5

   Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the garlic and oil.

   Cirka 1 min

6. 6

   Add about half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet and toss everything together vigorously.

   Cirka 1 min

   Kockens tips: The starch in the pasta water helps create a silky sauce.

   Continue tossing, adding more pasta water as needed, until a light sauce forms and coats the spaghetti.

   Cirka 1 min
