Pepperoncini (Oil And Garlic Spaghetti) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb spaghetti
    6 -8 garlic cloves, sliced fine NOT MINCED
    1/2 cup olive oil, I use flavored
    2 -3 tablespoons dried chilies (or if not red pepper flakes work fine)
    salt, fresh ground pepper, herbs (to taste)
    1 cup water, from pasta pot
Preparation
    Put pasta in pot to boil over high heat. I usually put in oil, some salt, and fresh herbs in mine. Boil till tender, save 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain pasta.
    Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Pour oil in skillet. When hot put garlic in it. Swirl around till fragant, about 3-4 minute.
    Add spices and pasta. Add water, a little bit at a time, till pasta does not look dry but is not swimming in liquid either. Add 1/4 cup at a time. Toss to incorporate all together.
    Enjoy!
