Directions:
Heat the olive oil slowly in a sauté pan over low heat and when it begins to shimmer, add the garlic and onion cook gently until it becomes soft but not brown, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the salt and parsley, and cover the pan.
Cook the pasta as directed and drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking water. Add the water to the garlic and oil and stir to blend. Quickly mix in the cooked pasta or keep on the side. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of cheese if desired.
(We like to eat it with a little fresh sauce and the “Aglio e Olio” mixed together.)
