Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of basil used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid basil, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt, then add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 1–2 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the pasta through a colander.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden at the edges and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Watch closely — the garlic can go from golden to burnt quickly.
