Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti
3 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, reserved pasta water
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent browning.
Step 3: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Toss vigorously for 2 minutes until the sauce coats the pasta and the cheese melts.
