Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste (Optional)
• 1 (6 ounce) package dry spaghetti

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt butter with garlic very slowly to avoid burning the garlic. Season with parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.

Step 4

Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated with butter. Increase the heat to medium and cook until pasta is heated through and has absorbed some of the butter. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
