Saute

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté sliced garlic with black pepper, ½ tsp salt, and red pepper flakes in olive oil. Sauté until fragrant, about ⏱️ 2 minutes.

7
Pour strained cooked pasta into the large saucepan with the sautéed garlic and oil.

Toss thoroughly so every piece of spaghetti is coated in garlicky oil. Then, add grated parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of pasta water. Toss to combine so the cheese melts into the sauce and covers all of the pasta. Add a little more starchy pasta water, only if needed to achieve a looser texture if desired.
