Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add a dash of olive oil.

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat.

Add crushed garlic to the skillet and cook gently, being careful not to brown it.

Warm the oil gently until the garlic flavor is infused.

Drain the spaghetti well and transfer it to a warm serving bowl.

Pour the garlic-infused olive oil over the spaghetti.

Toss well to coat.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
