How to Make Garlic Spaghetti Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook gently for 3-4 minutes, or until softened but not browned.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley (or basil) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly wilted.
- Cook 1 pound of spaghetti according to package directions.
- Drain the spaghetti, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Pour the garlic sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Toss gently to coat. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup sliced black olives, 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms, or 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes).
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty French bread and extra Parmesan cheese on the side.
