This very famous pasta dish has to be one of the simplest but at the same time the tastiest.
Better than any fast food, made up with only a few ingredients, you can rustle this up as soon as you get back home from a very busy day in no time. You will feel rewarded knowing that you had made this pasta dish from scratch.

For 2 persons, in a shallow saucepan or better still a small frying pan, pour in 2-3tbsp of good olive oil, add a slightly crushed clove of garlic, and add a couple of tsp of chilli flakes. Heat on a very low flame so that the oil has time to infuse and the garlic has turned golden in colour.
I love mine with plenty of garlic and chilli. Adapt the recipe to your own tastes.
Tip: Per person, 100g of spaghetti to 1lt of boiling water with 10g of salt.

Bring a large pasta pot of water to a rapid boil with the addition of sea salt. Add spaghetti and stir so that the pasta doesn't stick for the first couple of minutes. Leave to boil slightly covered for the desired time of just under al dente. Adjusting the flame accordingly so that the water doesn't boil over.
Drain pasta, leaving a little of the cooking water aside. Now add the spaghetti to the saucepan with the garlic and chilli infused oil, over a low heat and toss for about a minute. An emulsion will have formed by the combination of the pasta water and the infused oil.
Remove from heat and serve directly into dishes.
