Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti
From Erin Cullum, POPSUGAR Food
Notes
*Let's be real — I don't pay attention to pasta serving sizes. I added about 1/4 of the box of dried spaghetti, which makes one generous portion.
Ingredients
- About 4 ounces spaghetti*
2 cloves garlic, grated (or minced, if you don't have a microplane)
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt before adding the pasta, cook according to package directions, and drain.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium heat and add butter. Swirl around in the pan and cook until fully melted and slightly foamy, about a minute.
- Add the grated garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, about another minute.
- Turn off the heat and add the cooked pasta, parmesan cheese, and parsley, and toss until pasta is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper, add as much parmesan cheese as your heart desires (the sky's the limit), and eat.
