Instructions:
- Cook the pasta:
- Boil water in a large pot with a pinch of salt. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- Make the garlic butter sauce:
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes), being careful not to burn it.
- Toss the pasta:
- Add the cooked pasta to the garlic butter sauce and toss well to coat. If the pasta seems too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
- Add cheese and season:
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve hot, and enjoy!
