Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (Easy Garlic Olive Oil Pasta)

Just before the pasta finishes cooking, place the skillet back on low heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle again, stir in the parsley. Let it warm in the oil for 15 to 30 seconds, just until fragrant and bright.

Step 4: Toss and Finish

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water and a pinch of salt. Toss over medium heat until the pasta turns silky, glossy, and fully coated.

When the sauce clings to the strands and there’s no liquid left in the pan, your spaghetti with garlic and oil is ready to serve.
