How to Make My Mama's Garlic Spaghetti
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add 6 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the garlic herb sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (optional). Enjoy with a side salad and crusty bread!
