Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams noodles (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
While the noodles cook, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley, basil, and oregano.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic-infused olive oil.
Stir in the parsley, basil, and oregano, reserving a small amount of each herb for garnish.
Add the lemon juice and about 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen the noodles if needed.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together until well combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the noodles. Toss everything once more until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates and garnish with the reserved fresh herbs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
