Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti

5 ingredients. 20 minutes. With melted butter, garlic and freshly grated Parmesan. A winning combination for the ENTIRE family!

I know. It’s a brand spanking new year, and I should probably be posting some variation of a quinoa-kale-type salad.

But guys. It’s a new year.

I say, let’s eat more Parmesan, garlic and pasta. Drenched in browned butter, of course.

I mean this only has 5 ingredients. And then takes about 20 minutes to whip up.

It’s almost a crime to NOT be eating this every single day of 2016, right?

Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
• In a medium saucepan, combine butter, garlic and red pepper flakes over medium heat until the butter has melted. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, skimming foam as necessary.
• Remove from heat. Stir in pasta and Parmesan until well combined, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
