Bring a pot of water to boil. When it's boiling, add salt. Throw the pasta in and cook until it's just before al dente - this is important because the pasta will finish cooking in the sauce.
Once you've thrown the pasta into the water, heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic and chili pepper, and when garlic is fragrant, add the sun dried tomatoes.
Cook the sun dried tomatoes down slightly, about 3-4 minutes. By this time, the pasta should be ready. If it's not, turn the heat on the sun dried tomatoes down to low.
Add the pasta to the pan, along with some pasta water (about ¼ to ⅓ of one cup)
Let the pasta finish cooking in the pan, until the pasta water is absorbed.
Add parsley and stir again. Plate and enjoy your sun dried tomato pasta!

Don't skip adding the pasta water to the spaghetti in the pan - it will add a creaminess to the dish that you won't get without it
Add the chili pepper depending on how spicy you'd like your dish, or omit it all together if you don't like spice
If you don't have fresh chili pepper, you can use dried chili flakes
