PARMESAN GARLIC SPAGHETTI

PARMESAN GARLIC SPAGHETTI
5 ingredients. 20 minutes. With melted butter, garlic and freshly grated Parmesan. A winning combination for the ENTIRE family!
I know. It’s a brand spanking new year, and I should probably be posting some variation of a quinoa-kale-type salad.
I say, let’s eat more Parmesan, garlic and pasta. Drenched in browned butter, of course.
I mean this only has 5 ingredients. And then takes about 20 minutes to whip up.

It’s almost a crime to NOT be eating this every single day of 2016, right?
PARMESAN GARLIC SPAGHETTI
yield: 4 SERVINGS 
prep time: 10 MINUTES 
cook time: 20 MINUTES 
total time: 30 MINUTES

5 ingredients. 20 minutes. With melted butter, garlic and freshly grated Parmesan. A winning combination for the ENTIRE family!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, garlic and red pepper flakes over medium heat until the butter has melted. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, skimming foam as necessary.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in pasta and Parmesan until well combined, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
