  1. Place spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water that has been seasoned with salt. Cook according to package instructions or until cooked al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain the pasta but reserve 120ml of the pasta water.
  2. In a separate saucepan add your olive oil and garlic. Heat to medium-low and until the garlic is slightly sizzling and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes and then turn off the heat. Make sure to stir the garlic while it cooks so it does not burn.
  3. Once the pasta is cooked, return the heat on your saucepan to medium-low and using tongs add the pasta and a spoonful of pasta water to the warm oil and garlic slices. Toss to coat until emulsified, adjust with one spoonful at a time of reserved pasta water as needed, and salt to taste.
  4. Plate with a few golden garlic slices on top. Serve and enjoy.
