Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves: 2 thinly sliced, 2 minced, 2 smashed
1/2 cup pasta water or chicken stock
1 cup grated Romano cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in salted boiling water and drain. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, and remove from the skillet.
  • Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant but doesn't color, about 30 seconds. Add the spaghetti and liquid to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and toss in the cheese, black pepper, browned sliced garlic, and smashed garlic. Serve with additional grated cheese.
