Prepare the sauce: In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Serve immediately: Transfer to a bowl and enjoy your personalized pasta creation while hot.
Chef's Tips
- Pasta Choice: Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier option.
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
- Cheese Variations: Try pecorino or feta cheese instead of Parmesan for a different flavor.
- Extra Veggies: Include mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for more nutrients.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
