Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp minced fresh garlic
1/2 tsp fine sea salt (to taste)
1 lb imported spaghetti or 1 lb spaghettini

Directions:

Bring a big pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil, garlic, and salt in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat, stirring often.
Keep a close watch here and adjust the heat as necessary b/c you want the garlic to slowly turn from opaque white to a slightly translucent golden without a hint of browning.
As soon as the garlic is golden, immediately add 2 cups water; be careful you do not burn yourself as the oil has a tendency to spatter.
Increase the heat and boil vigorously until the garlic is soft and the liquid has reduced by half.
Taste and add additional salt, if necessary.
Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water; as soon as the water comes back to a boil, drop in the spaghetti.
Stir often until the spaghetti is al dente.].
Drain and transfer the pasta to the skillet.
Over medium-high heat, toss the spaghetti in a aglio-olio until it is nicely coated.
Serve immediately in heated bowls.
