- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and salt. Cook pasta, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve ⅓ cup of the salted cooking water, then drain pasta. Do not rinse.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then add ⅔ of the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic foams and turns sticky and golden. Immediately remove the pan from the heat, add remaining garlic, pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and 2 tablespoons reserved cooking water.
- Transfer drained pasta to a warm serving bowl. Add the garlic sauce, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and remaining reserved cooking water to pasta. Toss to combine, sprinkle remaining parsley over the top, and serve immediately. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over dish, grated cheese, and extra red pepper flakes.
