Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes, reserving ½ cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, combine butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once butter is melted and foaming, add garlic, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water, bringing back that glossy sauce.
