Use good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your preference. If you like it spicier, add more; if you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
Freshly grated Romano cheese is highly recommended for its sharp, salty flavor.
Don't overcook the garlic, as it will become bitter. Keep the heat low and stir frequently.
For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of dry white wine to the garlic and oil mixture before adding the parsley.
Consider adding browned butter to the pasta.
Try adding 1/4 cup of pine nuts.
