I'm Italian and this recipe is perfect! But... I've a very good alternative: insteda of Parmisan you can toast some bread crumbs in a pan and put them in the pasta. Trust Me!

well done mate! almost perfect! :) Only little thing I would suggest is to toss the pasta into the pan with the oil, and not into the pot. The thing is that you drain the pasta even earlier than al-dente, and then toss it into the oil, add a ladle of water, then throw in the parmesan and cook the pasta in there for a couple of minutes, flipping until the water is absorbed and the starch has made a cream with the oil. then add the parsley and serve. ;)

Another way to do it is putting your pasta directly into the pan where you've got your sauce, skip straining entirely, and then add half a cup to a full cup of the pasta water into it. This takes a little longer but as you boil out some of the water the starch in it will combine with your olive oil and garlic to make a really nice creamy consistency. Doing it this way is fine but I find it makes the sauce a little too thin.

That is definitely *not* 5-6 Tbsp of olive oil, it's more close to 2/3 of a cup, if not more 😅 Perfect amount though, this dish is well worth it!

It's easy to forget all the work that's behind making the different ingredients. To us, it may seem like an increadibly simple recipe. But theres so much work behind making the perfect parmesan cheese and some good quality olive oil. "Simple" dishes like this makes you appreciate that even more. One of my favorites! Good job, Donald.

Just did this with ingredients straight out of Italy! My parents were on vacation there and brought a lot of stuff like pasta, olive oil and parmesan cheese. It was delicious, I enjoyed every second

[UnknownGunslinger]

Please do keep making simple pasta recipes because there is nothing better than something that is quick but also delicious 🤷‍♂️

[goldblade]

That "5 table spoons" of olive oil is almost as much as Gordon Ramsay's "touch of olive oil"

[FrenchGuyCooking]

Always a bit nervous too when making Italian recipes. Super proud of your dish even though that's only a frenchman speaking here haha

[mehnazful]

DONAL! HOW?! How can you eat something so steaming hot and not take a moment to scream in pain?!

[kat.]

Finally someone in a recipe who serves a generous amount of pasta on a dish. You can never have enough spaghetti :)

The best thing about your recipes are their simplicity and how quick they are to make

[UghUgh]

Why do people get their panties in a twist about someone's cooking. Cooking is like painting, there's no right or wrong way. All the greatest chefs in the world got there by bending the rules and crossing bouderies. Get over yourselves.

I tried this and it was Delicious! Surprising especially with so few ingredients.

[ptc-bkec]

Great job! I am Italian and that is the purest recipe. I like to add some fresh cracked black pepper and some fresh basil along with the parsley.

Hi, this recipe is so simple and yet so tasty. I have added an Asian twist to your recipe. I added some deep fried shallots to mix with the spaghetti. OMG, it's so good ! Thank you so much for a wonderful and simple recipe.
Greetings from Singapore.
