I am new to Italian cooking. But, I managed to cook my spaghetti pretty well! :D I didn't follow exact steps as I forgot to reserve the pasta water for pouring into the oil. I used 1/4th cup extra virgin olive oil instead of 1/2 cup. I didn't discard the garlic as I prefer to have the crunch of garlic in it. I left out the basil as my bf is not really a herb guy, but I still added 1T chopped mint! I added a LOT of chilli flakes as our tastebuds are more inclined towards the hot type! He was very impressed and so was I! Very simple and down to earth recipe! Thanks a lot! :D

I didn't read the recipe. I viewed the video and prepared it as described by Giada. She definitely didn't use 1T. of red pepper flakes, just a sprinkle of flakes. In addition, she did add the spaghetti to the olive oil before she added the water from the spaghetti. I followed the video - not the recipe and it was absolutely delicious.

I think this was good as is, if it was to be a side dish. I wanted to use it as a main course, so I cut up a precooked spicy sausage and browned it in a frying pan, cut down the red pepper flakes to "2 pinches" and added some chopped scallions with the basil leaves at the end. Oh and a light dusting of garlic salt was needed at the last minute. I'll try the other person's suggestion of smashing the garlic cloves a bit before making the garlic oil and then I can probably forgo the garlic salt.

Two more things -- I leave out the mint and I think there's way too much red pepper flakes here. 1/2 tsp would be a good place to start.

i made this after running out of butter for butter and garlic pasta but... hmm i seem to have burned the pepper flakes, not used enough cloves, and exploded the frying pan while getting the pasta water onto the hot pan of oil... i like the recipe, but how can i cook this without burning anything or myself? Can someone help me

If you love spicy foods this is your dish! If not, start with a teaspoon of red pepper. I also love garlic, so in addition to the 3 cloves, I minced a couple cloves to keep in the sauce. And I agree with below, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to top it off!

Excellent taste. Easy and quick to make. Great garlic flavor. The family doesn't like the red pepper flakes so I add them after in my dish.
