Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti, cooking until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 c. pasta cooking water.
Meanwhile, in a large pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low. Add garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add drained spaghetti; toss, adding pasta water, a little at a time, until spaghetti is thoroughly coated.
Remove pan from heat. Add parsley, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese; toss well. Season to taste, adding salt, if necessary.
Serve, garnished with Parmesan cheese, lemon wedges, and red pepper flakes.
4 servings.
