Ingredients

400g spaghetti or noodles

5 tbsp butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup pasta water

1 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss well to coat them evenly with the garlic butter.
  4. Pour in a little of the reserved pasta water and continue tossing until the noodles are glossy and well coated.
  5. Add the Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  6. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, adding more pasta water if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
  7. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful and comforting Garlic Butter Noodles!
