This Garlic Lovers’ Spaghetti is quick and easy to make, packed with ultra-garlicky buttery flavor, and SO delicious!!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound dry spaghetti (or any pasta shape will work)
- 1 large head of garlic (about 12 cloves), peeled and roughly-chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, store-bought or homemade
- pinch (each) of salt, freshly-cracked black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes
- optional toppings: freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, extra black pepper, extra crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large generously-salted stockpot of boiling water al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta water is heating, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fragrant and just barely starts to brown.
- Slowly add in the white wine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and ready to go. Taste, and season with extra salt and/or pepper and/or crushed red pepper flakes if needed.
- Once the pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the stockpot and add in the garlic-butter mixture. Toss until combined.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.
