10-Minute One-Pot Garlic Butter Pasta by Lillychilioil

Ingredients

• 250g (8 oz) spaghetti or linguine
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large skillet or wide pan, then add the pasta and salt
2. Cook the pasta for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente and most of the water has evaporated, leaving about 1/4 cup in the pan.
3. Reduce heat to low and add the butter, sliced garlic, and red pepper flakes directly into the skillet.
4. Toss the pasta vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the butter melts and emulsifies with the pasta water to create a glossy sauce.
5. Remove from heat, stir in the parmesan cheese until smooth, and serve immediately.
