3-garlic spaghetti recipe

Ingredients:

1 Head garlic head
8 Garlic cloves
1 Pound of Spaghetti
2 Tablespoon Olive oil
¾ Cup Dry white wine
1 Cup Flat-leaf parsley; chopped
1 Teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
Freshly-grated Parmesan

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap garlic head in foil, or place it in a garlic roaster; roast until garlic becomes soft and golden, about 1 hour.

Let cool and trim tip of head; squeeze out cloves using the back of a knife. Transfer cloves to a small bowl, and set aside. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, and run under cold water to stop cooking.

Thinly slice 5 cloves unroasted garlic. Finely chop remaining 3 cloves. Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add sliced garlic; toast until golden and crisp.

Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and set it aside. Add chopped garlic, and saute until translucent, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add roasted garlic and white wine; let simmer about 3 minutes.

Add pasta, parsley, red pepper, salt, and pepper; toss. Serve sprinkled with toasted garlic slivers. Grate cheese over each serving.
