SPAGHETTI AGLIO, OLIO, E PEPERONCINO

I came across this recipe on pinterest and decided to try it. SOOOO glad I did, it was AWESOME. I made a single serving, so I will give you exactly how I made it and the link to the original recipe as well.

2oz uncooked whole wheat thin spaghetti (I'm watching my protions, so I used a scale and actually measured)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic - use as much garlic as you like
1/2 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil - make it as oily as you like
2-3 shakes of red pepper flakes - make it as hot as you like
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese (I only had the Kraft style, so it was a couple of shakes from the shaker, I can't wait to try it with real freshly grated Parmesan cheese) 
salt and pepper to taste (I used neither)

Cook spaghetti to al dente - don't over cook the pasta, that would not be good for this dish
Drain and put back in pan, turn heat on low
Add garlic, olive oil and red pepper flakes, stir and cook just until all is heated together.
Turn into a bowl, add cheese, salt and pepper, stir together

NOTE: Parmesan cheese was not part of the original recipe, so to save on calories, you could leave this out. I'm glad I added a little :)

ENJOY!!
