A quick and flavorful pasta dish combining garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese for a delightful meal.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and golden.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the garlic butter.
If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately in a serving bowl.
Serve with extra Parmesan cheese on the side for those who love a cheesier flavor.
