Method
step 1
Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for about 10 mins, or until al dente – it should retain a little bite.
step 2
When the pasta is nearly ready, heat the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat and sizzle the garlic and chilli, if using, for 1 minute until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden but not brown (the garlic will taste bitter if it gets too dark).
step 3
Drain the spaghetti and add it to the garlicky oil with the parsley. Season and toss to combine, then serve.
