Aglio e Olio (Spaghetti with garlic olive oil)

• 500g/ 1 lb spaghetti ((I use No 5 spaghetti but any long strand pasta will work))
• 2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt (, for cooking pasta (halve for table salt, +50% for flakes))
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil ((the better the oil, the tastier your pasta!))
• 6 large garlic cloves (, finely sliced)
• 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes ((red pepper flakes), optional - sub pinch of black pepper for not spicy)
• 1 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt ((halve for table salt, +50% for flakes))
