Instructions
Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Prepare the Garlic Oil
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine
Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the garlic oil. Add about ½ cup of the reserved pasta water and toss vigorously to emulsify the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed to create a light, glossy sauce.
Finish and Serve
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and most of the grated bottarga. Toss well to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining grated bottarga. For an extra touch, drizzle with a little more fresh olive oil before serving.
