Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 8 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
• 1.5 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups water
• 250 gm. spaghetti (8.8 oz.)
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (adjust to taste)
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley)

Instructions

• Set a large pot over low heat. Add oil + garlic. Stir-saute them in low heat (this helps infuse garlic flavor into the oil) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
• Add salt + water + spaghetti. Gently separate the spaghetti using a spatula so they don't glue/stick together. Turn up the heat to high and bring it to a boil (2-3 minutes).
• As the water starts to boil and spaghetti starts to soften, stir-cook continuously for 7-9 minutes or until it's just al dente. This process emulsifies the starch and oil with water which creates the sauce.
• Turn down the heat to medium. Add smoked paprika + pepper + nutritional yeast + lemon juice. Mix well and stir-cook for about 30 seconds.
• Turn off the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley) and mix some more.
• Transfer to serving bowl(s) and serve hot.
