*The water to cook the spaghetti needs to be very salty since the spaghetti will absorb the salt and you won’t have to season as much later on. *Very important to cook the garlic over low heat to prevent burning and to infuse the oil with the garlic and chili pepper flavor. *You can also drain the pasta and add it to the garlic oil instead of adding it directly from the pot. Just remember to reserve at least a quarter cup of the pasta water and add a little bit at a time while stirring the pasta. You don’t want to add too much, just enough to emulsify the garlic-infused oil into a smooth, non-greasy finish. *The amount of chili pepper/chili flakes used should be up to your heat preference. *You can swap out the beef bacon with your favorite bacon/pancetta or omit it.
