Notes
Add regular olive oil if extra virgin is not available

Add garlic to cold oil and then heat both together. This serves 2 purposes, garlic does not burn and oil gets infused with sweet garlic smell

Add freshly ground black pepper

Skip parmesan cheese to make the pasta vegan and use any hard vegan cheese if available
