A delightful pasta dish infused with the rich flavors of garlic and fresh herbs, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat.
Use low heat to prevent the olive oil from burning and turning bitter.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Stir constantly to ensure even cooking and avoid burning the garlic.
Stir in the basil and parsley, mixing well.
Add the herbs off the heat to preserve their fresh flavor.
Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with the garlic and herb mixture until evenly coated.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the pasta at its best texture and flavor.
