Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the kosher salt, then cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Drain the spaghetti in a colander.

While the pasta cooks, melt the vegan butter with the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden at the edges and fragrant, about 4–5 minutes. Watch closely — the garlic can go from golden to burnt quickly.
