Spaghetti Aglio Olio

Emma Webb's Spaghetti Aglio Olio - Feeds 4 -
Salt,
1 lb Spaghetti,
4 Cloves garlic,
3 tablespoons extra virgin oil,
freshly ground pepper.

In a large pot, bring 5 quarts of water to a rolling boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Toss in the spaghetti and cook until slightly firm to the bite (approx 7-8 mins). Peel the garlic and cut into fine slices. Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and heat slowly - not so hot that it hisses! Saute the garlic gently in the hot oil. Pour the spaghetti into a colander and let it drain. Add the spaghetti to the garlic mixture in the pan and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
