This Midnight Spaghetti is a quick and flavorful pasta that delivers bold taste with minimal effort. Garlic is gently sautéed in olive oil to release its fragrance, then infused with crushed chili flakes for a kick. Tossed with perfectly al dente spaghetti and finished with Parmesan cheese, it's the ultimate late-night or weeknight go-to. Simple ingredients, big flavor—this pasta is pasta perfection in under 15 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄Slice garlic thinly and let it gently toast in cold olive oil, bringing out its sweetness and preventing bitter burning.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Reserve 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water before draining to help create a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the spaghetti.
- Chili Oil Intensity Control 🌶️Toast crushed red chili flakes in olive oil for 30-45 seconds to release their essential oils and deepen their flavor without burning.
- Al Dente Precision 🍝Cook spaghetti 1-2 minutes less than package instructions, as it will continue cooking when tossed with the hot garlic oil.
- Fresh Herb Finishing Touch 🌿Chop fresh parsley just before adding to maintain its vibrant color and release maximum aromatic oils into the dish.
