To make the sauce, start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant. Then, add the white wine and let it simmer for a minute or two. Add the parsley and Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Once it’s cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until coated and serve warm.
