Steps:
- Boil a large pot of water for the pasta. Salt generously and cook pasta until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic is tender and fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside until the pasta is ready. (*Note: you can also cook the garlic longer, until it just starts to colour, for a more roasted garlic flavour to the dish).
- When pasta is ready, return the skillet to the heat over medium heat. Use tongs to remove the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the olive oil mixture. Add the parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest and butter, if using, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately with additional Parmesan, red pepper flakes and a lemon wedge, for drizzling, if you like.

- When your pasta is al dente , drain it, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water.
- Add the spaghetti to the skillet and toss until evenly coated. Add a little bit of the pasta cooking water as needed if the mixture is too dry. Serve and enjoy.

ROMAN-STYLE SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
This pasta makes a very satisfying supper. No tomatoes in this recipe -- just a wonderful richness from the olive oil, garlic and that hidden flavor of anchovy. The original recipe did not call for cheese on top, but most prefer it with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, OIL AND HOT RED PEPPERS
This is the kind of quick, simple dish Italians often throw together after an all-night party or when spirits are flagging and an infusion of food is called for. Other types of long, thin pasta, like vermicelli, linguine or taglierini, may be substituted. If anchovies are omitted, adjust the salt in the sauce.

Steps:
- Bring 5 to 6 quarts water to rolling boil.
- Peel garlic cloves, removing green sprout at center, if necessary, and chop coarsely. In pan large enough to hold all the drained pasta, cook garlic in oil very gently over medium-low heat. Cook just until garlic softens and starts to turn golden. Do not brown.
- Add at least 2 tablespoons salt to vigorously boiling water. Add spaghetti, stirring.
- If using anchovies, add them to oil and garlic. Cook briefly, mashing anchovy pieces into oil with fork. Stir in chili pepper and half of the parsley, and carefully add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water. Let simmer, and reduce slightly while pasta finishes cooking.
- Start testing pasta after it has cooked for 4 minutes. When it is still a little chewy in the center, drain and add it to pan with sauce. Turn heat up slightly, and cook, mixing pasta and sauce together well for 1 to 2 minutes, or until pasta is done to taste. Turn pasta into preheated serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining minced parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips for Making Umbrian-Style Hot Garlic and Olive Oil Spaghetti:
- Choose the best quality ingredients you can find. Use fresh garlic, and a good-quality extra virgin olive oil. - Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of garlic and chili flakes to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili flakes. If you're not a fan of heat, use less. - Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the spaghetti. This will make it difficult for the pasta to cook evenly. - Add the spaghetti to the sauce as soon as it's cooked. This will help to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together. - Serve the spaghetti immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.Conclusion:
