A delightful pasta dish combining the richness of butter, the aroma of garlic, and the freshness of herbs.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and combined.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter and oil.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Fresh parsley adds a vibrant flavor; avoid overcooking.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the prepared sauce in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
Toss thoroughly to ensure the sauce coats all the pasta.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss again to mix.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding more cheese if desired.
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
