Garlic Noodles

I really need to make this again and take a prettier picture. Anyhoo...This is a really quick easy side dish. It looks a lot better when I make it with bow tie pasta. My whole family likes it and it goes with just about anything.

4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 Cloves of garlic - minced or sliced (you decide).
1 Tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 Tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 Tsp salt
2 Cups pasta cooked per the package directions and drained. (I really like the Barilla Plus pasta in the yellow box. It tastes great and it's good for you).
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/4 Cup grated Parmesan cheese

* Heat olive oil over medium low heat. Add garlic and saute slowly until soft, about 5 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt and cooked pasta. Cook for one minute more. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro or parsley. Sprinkle with cheese.

Serves 4
