Ingredients list
- 8 ounce dry spaghetti
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper or to taste optional
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Collect all the ingredients needed for the recipe.
- Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until it's perfectly al dente, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, drain the water out.
- Meanwhile, warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Gently melt the butter with garlic, stirring slowly to prevent the garlic from burning. Add parsley, salt, black pepper, and a hint of cayenne to taste.
- Mix the drained pasta into the skillet, ensuring it’s fully coated with the creamy butter mixture. Turn up the heat to medium and continue to cook until the pasta is heated through and has soaked up the luscious butter. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- For the final flourish, serve your dish sprinkled with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
