Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt.
Cook spaghetti till al-dente and set aside once cooked. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water.
Add your olive oil to a medium-sized pan or cast-iron skillet and heat on medium for 30 seconds before adding the garlic.
Cook down the garlic for 5-6 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Once golden and fragrant, add the parmesan cheese - evenly over the entire pan - and cook down for 1-2 minutes. Dust with chili flakes (as desired) and add your pasta to the pan.
Add reserve pasta water, a tiny pinch of sea salt, black pepper and fresh thyme or parsley. Cook, coat and toss till hot throughout.
Enjoy hot with a glass of wine and warm, crispy garlic toast.
