Aglio e Olio

Boil spaghetti and cook until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil over medium low heat. Add in the garlic and let it cook until soft and golden (you may need to lower the heat to keep it from browning too fast). (Also smoke point of olive oil is low... so ensure medium-low heat)

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it while reserving some of the starchy pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the oil and garlic. Toss the pasta around until its coated (this is where you can add in the starchy pasta water to keep the pasta moist if it looks too dry).

Add in the seasonings and grated cheese, toss to combine and serve.
