This garlic and oil bucatini is ready in about 25 minutes, which makes it perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

• 400 g bucatini
• salt, for the pasta water
• 80 ml olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• a handful of chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Boil the bucatini in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Warm the oil with the garlic and chili over low heat until the garlic is pale gold, about 4 minutes.
3. Add a ladle of pasta water to make an emulsion.
4. Toss with the pasta and parsley.
5. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve right away.
