"There are a few garlic and oil pasta recipes on the site, but this is the one I use and it is slightly different from the other ones. So I'm posting this here for safe-keeping. Great with a Caesar salad and some breadsticks."

Nice and simple! Used more cheese and just a smidge of red pepper flakes (not as much as called for, personal preference). Was very good and will make again.
