A simple yet flavorful pasta dish that combines the richness of butter with the aromatic essence of garlic, topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Salting the water enhances the flavor of the pasta.
Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until al dente according to the package instructions.
Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too dry.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss to combine.
Mix well to ensure the cheese melts evenly into the pasta.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the pasta before adding salt as the cheese may already provide enough saltiness.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
