Step Two:
Now, combine garlic and olive oil in a cold skillet. Cook it over medium flame to slowly toast garlic. Let it cook for at least ten minutes. Then, keep the flame on medium-low when bubbles start erupting in olive oil. Also, make sure to cook and stir until garlic is golden brown for another five minutes. Switch off the stove.
Step Three:
As the preparation is ready, start to stir red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt into the pasta. Then, pour in olive oil and garlic, and sprinkle on Italian parsley and half of the amount of finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Keep stirring until it is mixed properly. After the mixture is ready, serve the Aglio Olio pasta topped with the remaining grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
