Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Butter Spaghetti.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
When the pasta is ready, drain it and set it aside.
Step 5
While the spaghetti is cooking, grab a skillet and heat it over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Add a generous pat of butter along with minced garlic, allowing them to mingle slowly.
Step 7
This gentle cooking will keep the garlic from burning and help release its wonderful aroma.
Step 8
As the garlic becomes fragrant, sprinkle in some chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bring the drained spaghetti into the skillet.
Step 10
Toss the pasta gently to ensure it’s evenly coated with that luscious garlic butter.
Step 11
Turn up the heat to medium and let it cook for another minute, allowing the pasta to warm through and soak up some of that buttery goodness.
Step 12
Finally, serve your delicious garlic butter spaghetti hot, and don’t forget to sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch of flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy every bite of this simple yet delightful dish!.
