Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Parmesan Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook it according to the package directions, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, usually around 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the spaghetti is bubbling away, melt some butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, just until it releases its delightful aroma.
Step 5
When the spaghetti is ready, drain it, but don’t forget to save about half a cup of that starchy pasta water.
Step 6
Pour the reserved pasta water into the skillet with the garlic, then add freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring until everything melds together beautifully.
Step 7
Now, add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and give it a good toss to ensure every strand is coated in that luscious sauce.
Step 8
Finish by sprinkling in some chopped parsley for a fresh touch, mixing it all until well combined.
Step 9
Serve your delicious creation immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of this classic dish.
