Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta through a colander.

While the pasta cooks, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes.
