Basic Garlic and Chilli Pasta (v)

100 grams dried spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra to serve
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
sea salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons
finely chopped parsley
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 1 minute less than the packet instructions.

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook the garlic and chilli flakes over a low heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden but not browned.

Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little more oil, the remaining parmesan, a pinch of sea salt and a grind of pepper. SERVES 1
