1. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan or pot. Add 1 Tablespoon of salt and the pasta, stirring until the strands are submerged.
2. Put the olive oil and the garlic in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the garlic begins to change color, add the parsley, red pepper flakes and some salt. Stir well and remove from the heat.
