   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

   While the spaghetti is cooking, thinly slice the garlic cloves.

   In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red chili flakes. Cook until the garlic is golden brown, being careful not to burn it.

   Serve the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio immediately, garnished with more parsley if desired.
