1 bulb of garlic, chopped in chunky bits

extra virgin olive oil

spaghetti

crushed dried red peppers

Fresh parmegiano reggiano

Sautee the garlic in the olive oil until it starts to change color very slightly. Boil up the water, throw some salt in there, when boiling, add the dried spaghetti. When it is cooked to the taste, scoop out 1/4 cup of the water and set aside. Dump the pasta, reheat the olive oil/ garlic mix very briefly, throw it over the drained pasta along with the 1/4 cup of water. Top with crushed red pepper (pizza pepper) and lots of parmesan.

You won’t have any friends the next day, but you sure will feel good!
