• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
