This was tonight's dinner. I adapted the recipe from
Forever Summer by Nigella Lawson. She uses 1 chile
pepper for 1 serving (3 oz pasta). I made this for 4
servings so I used 3x as much garlic, and only a bit
more oil and about the same amount of chile because I
wasn't the only one eating this. It was perfect the
way it was.

Very good. We love simple pasta dishes like this.

                        sea salt -- for water
   1      lb            spaghetti
   5      tbsp          extra-virgin olive oil
   6      cloves        garlic -- sliced thinly
   2      pinches       red pepper flakes
                        salt and pepper

Put a big pot of water on stovetop and bring to a
boil. When it comes to a boil, add some salt and the
spaghetti. Cook according to package directions.

In last 3 minutes of cooking, heat another pan over
medium heat. While it is still cold, add oil, garlic
and red pepper flakes. Cook until garlic is lightly
golden brown. Immediately add a spoonful of cooking
water. Turn off heat and stir until the splattering
stops.

When pasta is done, drain well. Immediately put sauce
over pasta and mix well.

Optional: sprinkle on some freshly grated parmesan
cheese to serve.

Serve with warmed rolls or bread.

NOTES : Nigella uses Maldon salt which is a coarse sea
salt from England. If using this, use less as it is
very salty and in very big crystals. You need less of
it.  She also used a dried chile pepper pod, but
suggests the chile flakes if you don't have that. She
also garnishes with fresh parsley. I omitted this.

DELICIOSO!
