I know, it may not be original but it is one of those absolute pasta dishes of the Italian cuisine that pleases everyone and not everyone can do.

Ingredients (for 3 persons)

3 cloves of garlic (or fresh garlic)
1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper

Preparation:

Bring a good amount of water to boil.

Pour olive oil in a frying pan.  Add chopped garlic and fry over medium heat avoiding it to burn.

Simmer gently while spaghetti are cooking.
Drain pasta when ready and toss in pan and mix well.
Serve with a generous amount of Parmigiano Reggiano (if you like).
