A delightful pasta dish featuring a rich garlic butter sauce, fresh herbs, and Parmesan cheese.
Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Combining butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning.
Sauté the minced garlic in the butter and oil mixture until fragrant.
Avoid browning the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the dried oregano and half of the fresh parsley to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Crush the dried oregano slightly in your hands before adding to release its aroma.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and mix well.
Adding the cheese off heat prevents it from clumping.
Serve the pasta garnished with the remaining fresh parsley.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
