Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of chile pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Don't overcook the garlic, as it will become bitter. The reserved pasta water is key to creating a silky sauce that coats the spaghetti. For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the minced chile.
