Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (spaghetti or any shape)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta. Cook it in well-salted water until al dente. Save 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. Make the sauce. Melt the butter in the empty pot over medium-low heat and cook the garlic 1–2 minutes until fragrant, not brown.
  3. Toss. Add the pasta, parmesan and a splash of pasta water and toss until glossy. Add more water if it looks dry. Season with pepper.
