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

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
