Ingredients
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Start by boiling water in a large pot. Check the cooking time on the pasta package, as the instructions can be different with various brands.
- Add a pinch of salt and then your spaghetti. If the noodles are too long for the pot, gently push them into the water with a spatula. As the bottom of the noodles soften in the boiling water, they will fold under the surface.
- Heat spaghetti in boiling water for about 11 minutes. Turn off the heat and drain the water.
- Turn on high heat for the skillet. Pour in olive oil and add garlic.
- Once the oil starts sizzling, cook the garlic for 30 seconds, stirring it constantly. Then reduce the heat to medium so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Use tongs to toss the spaghetti with the garlic-infused olive oil. Sprinkle in pepper and toss again. Keep mixing for about a minute, then turn off the heat.
- Move the spaghetti to a serving bowl or plate. Be sure to move the skillet off the heat so any remaining pasta or garlic olive oil doesn't burn.
