Cook the spaghetti two minutes less than the packet instructions say and drain, reserving one mug of pasta water.
Five minutes before it is due to be cooked, put the olive oil and garlic in a cold pan, bring to a medium heat and cook until it is golden but not brown.
Add the chill flakes and cook for another thirty seconds.
Stir in the pasta and three tablespoons of cooking water, adding more if it appears too dry.
Serve with plenty of Parmesan.
