Ingredients

  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 bundle fresh parsley, chopped
  • Several cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red chili flakes
  • 2 tsp garlic and herb seasoning
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, to taste

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil with the chicken bouillon stirred in and cook the spaghetti until al dente, reserving some of the pasta water before draining.
  2. Meanwhile chop the parsley and thinly slice the garlic.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic, chili flakes and garlic and herb seasoning, and cook until the garlic is lightly golden without burning.
  4. Add the drained spaghetti straight to the skillet with a splash of the reserved pasta water and toss until every strand is coated in the garlic oil.
  5. Take the pan off the heat, mix in a handful of the chopped parsley, the lemon juice and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan, and serve immediately in warm bowls.
