How to prepare

About this recipe

Garlic Butter Pasta is silky noodles tossed in fragrant garlic butter—a weeknight Italian-style side or main that comes together while pasta boils. This italian recipe serves 4 and is rated easy difficulty. Plan about 5 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking.

What you will need ready

12 oz pasta
4 tbsp butter
4 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
2 cup frozen vegetables (optional)
0.5 tsp pepper (optional)

Step-by-step

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 12 oz pasta until al dente; reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Mince 4 clove garlic. Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-low.
Add 4 clove garlic; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not brown.
Add drained 12 oz pasta and a splash of pasta water.
Toss 1–2 minutes until a light silky sauce coats noodles.
Add 2 cup frozen vegetables if using; cook 2 minutes until heated.
Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp pepper.
Add more pasta water if mixture looks dry.
Serve immediately in warm bowls.
Finish with extra butter or pepper if desired.

Serving

Serve with parmesan if you have it. Leftovers reheat with splash of water in a pan.

Cook tips

Salt pasta water—it should taste like the sea.
Low heat for garlic—burnt garlic is bitter.
Pasta water helps sauce cling.
Do not rinse pasta after draining.
