Garlic Bread Pasta

Garlic Bread Pasta
This Garlic Bread Pasta is the most simple, amazing pasta dish I’ve ever made! It’s good warm, cold even right out of the fridge!
I’m talking amazing pasta dish. The pasta dish that makes you say buh-bye to that low carb diet thing, at least for the day.
Boil up your pasta they way you always do and drain it.
In the meantime heat up a few tablespoons of butter in a large skillet until it’s melted. Then keep on going…
Keep cooking the butter while swirling it around the pan so it’s a nice, nutty brown color. Don’t burn it, just get it nice and brown.
Toss in breadcrumbs and seasonings and stir it all together until the breadcrumbs are completely coated in the butter. Turn the pan off and set it aside.
Now you’re going to melt a whole stick of butter – yes, a whole stick, so not skimp here or you’ll regret it – together in the same dish with a few cloves of minced garlic.
Pour the garlicky butter all over you’re cooked pasta and toss it all together with the toasted breadcrumbs.
That’s it – Garlic Bread Pasta finito.
So yes, head out and grab a cop of the The Cookies and Cups Cookbook for all the amazing desserts that are easy to make and totally mind blowing, but don’t forget that my talented friend has got you covered for dinner too:)
