📝 Instructions

9 steps
1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

2

While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.

3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

4

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Stir until melted and combined with the garlic.

5

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.

6

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until it's evenly distributed and melts into the noodles.

7

If the noodles seem dry, add the reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

8

Season the noodles with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss to combine.

9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
