- Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest. 
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the sliced garlic. 
- Cook until the garlic turns golden and fragrant—don’t let it burn. Lower the heat if needed. 
- Toss in the cooked spaghetti and a splash of reserved pasta water. Mix well to coat. 
- Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you like a little kick. 
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Serve warm.
