olive oil

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Take 4 cloves of garlic, separate 2 cloves, and place them in an oven-proof bowl covered with olive oil.

Bake the garlic in the oven for about 1 hour until soft.

After baking, use half of the garlic to make a paste in a food processor and reserve the other half for later.

Boil water in a large pot and add a couple of tablespoons of salt until it tastes like the ocean.

Add 1/2 pound of linguine to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After 7 minutes of cooking, prepare a hot skillet to finish cooking the pasta.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic confit puree to the hot skillet with the pasta.

Mix the pasta with the garlic confit until the water is absorbed.

Add a couple of tablespoons of red pepper flakes and some salt to taste.

Top the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
