Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounces spaghetti 400 g
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp thyme chopped, fresh. Or 1/2 tbsp dried thyme
  • 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin, 60 ml
  • salt
  • Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Start cooking your spaghetti.
  • While the pasta is cooking, chop the garlic and the fresh thyme. If you use dried thyme, you don't need to chop it.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped garlic and fry for 1 minute over medium heat. Don’t let it brown, as it loses its freshness. Add the thyme and fry for another 30 seconds.
