Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes).
While the spaghetti is cooking, mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley finely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti. Add the drained spaghetti directly to the skillet with the garlic and oil.
Toss the spaghetti in the oil until well coated, adding a little reserved pasta water to help create a silky sauce if necessary.
Remove the skillet from the heat, add the chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
