Preparation

• Instructions:

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute.
  4. If desired, add chopped red chili pepper to the skillet.
  5. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the garlic.
  6. Toss the spaghetti for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.

  Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • If you don't like the taste of raw garlic, you can saute it for a few more minutes before adding the spaghetti.
  • For a spicy kick, add chopped red chili pepper to the skillet with the garlic.
  • If you want the pasta to be creamier, you can add a little bit of heavy cream or Parmesan cheese at the end.

  Variations:

  • For a different twist, you can add other ingredients to the skillet, such as mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or roasted vegetables.
  • You can also serve the pasta with a tomato sauce, pesto, or artichoke sauce.

  I have translated the recipe as closely as possible to the original Spanish text. I have also taken care to preserve the meaning and intent of the text.

  Here are some additional notes on the translation:

  • I have used American English spelling and grammar throughout the translation.
  • I have added some clarifying information in a few places to make the translation easier to understand. For example, I have added the following sentence to the instructions:

  "Cook the spaghetti according to package directions."

  I hope this translation is helpful and accurate. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
