Spaghetti with garlic and oil

Spaghetti with garlic and oil is a traditional Italian dish

that originated somewhere in the South of Italy likely

 in the area of Naples. It is basically spaghetti with 

garlic and olive oil, and it's considered somewhat of

 a lower-budget version of pasta with mussels!

It takes very few ingredients to make traditional pasta 

aglio e olio--thin pasta of your choice, garlic, olive oil,

 and red pepper flakes. The original recipe doesn't even 

include cheese! I did take the liberty of adding some 

freshly grated parmesan for extra flavor and texture,

 as well as parsley for a pop of color.
