Preparation Steps

• Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
• Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat.
• Add some of the reserved pasta water to the skillet, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
• Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
• Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
