Tips:

• Be sure not to burn the garlic while cooking it. Burnt garlic can easily ruin the dish.

• Adding a small amount of pasta water to the garlic oil can help create a creamier sauce.

• Switch up the type of pasta – Spaghetti or linguine work just as well in this recipe.

• If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding other ingredients such as cherry tomatoes, shrimp or chicken.
