Boil and drain the spaghetti as per packet instructions. You may have to boil a large pot of water and some salt. Then add the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Meanwhile, start the work on the sauce.

Do not heat the pan or oil. Take a shallow skillet and add the olive oil and the sliced garlic. Now place this on the stove and turn the heat on low.

Cook on low heat until the garlic starts to change colour to light golden.

Now, add the chilli flakes and the pine nuts and continue to cook until garlic slices and the nuts turn golden brown. At this stage you can also add a spoon of chopped parsley leaves.

Drain your Spaghetti pasta and put it back into the same pot or you may add it directly to the prepared sauce.

Pour in the prepared garlic olive oil sauce and add the chopped parsley.

Use a wooden spatula to carefully stir and toss everything together so that the oil coats every strand of pasta.

Divide into two bowls and garnish it with some freshly ground black pepper or grate some parmesan over the top before serving.
