Peel and chop the garlic.

Pour 16 cups of water into a saucepan and turn on the heat. Bring the water to a boil, then add the spaghetti and 3 tsp of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat. Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander and set aside 5 tbsp of the cooking water.
Drizzle 4 tbsp of olive oil over a skillet pan and turn on the heat. Add the chopped garlic, half a tsp of salt, and half a tsp of black pepper to the skillet pan. Stir with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes. Then add the chopped parsley, chili pepper flakes, lemon juice, and 2 tbsp of the cooking water. Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat for 5 more minutes until you have a smooth garlic mixture. Then remove from the heat.
Transfer the drained spaghetti to a bowl. Drizzle with 3 tbsp of olive oil. Add the garlic mixture and 3 tbsp of the cooking water to the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle with a quarter tsp of salt and a quarter tsp of black pepper, then scatter the grated parmesan cheese on top.
