Instructions
-
1.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until "al dente".

2.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the garlic; split the olives in half. Toast the pine nuts in a non‑stick pan over medium heat, turning frequently until golden brown—watch closely so they don’t burn!

3.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, lightly sauté the garlic, add the olives and warm briefly without browning them. Remove from heat.

4.
Drain the cooked pasta into a colander, immediately toss with the garlic‑olive mixture and pine nuts, then plate on warmed dishes. Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley before serving.
