Creamy pasta with melted butter and a hint of pepper.

Ingredients

200g spaghetti
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
50g unsalted butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
30g grated parmesan
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti al dente according to the package instructions.

While the spaghetti cooks, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Carefully fry the garlic in the melted butter until golden brown, taking care that it does not burn.

Drain the cooked spaghetti, collecting a small cup of the pasta water.

Add the spaghetti to the pan with the garlic butter and toss well, adding some pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Stir in the grated parmesan and black pepper until the cheese has melted and a creamy sauce forms.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

💡 For extra flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice over the pasta.
