Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
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.
While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
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.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Stir until melted and combined with the garlic.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until it's evenly distributed and melts into the noodles.
If the noodles seem dry, add the reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Season the noodles with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
