Aglio e Olio Pasta

1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

2: In a large skillet, heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat.

3: Add the thinly sliced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
