Ingredients

1 lb pasta whole wheat or regular
6 tbsp unsalted butter OR 1/3 c. olive oil
8 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
1-2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

In a large stockpot full of salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent and fragrant. Do not brown the garlic! Add the salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
Drain the pasta, and return to the large stockpot. Pour the garlic-butter sauce over top, and stir to combine. Allow the pasta to rest for 3-4 minutes so that it can absorb some of the sauce. Serve and garnish with cheese and parsley (if desired).

Notes

STORE Garlic Butter Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the pasta and sauce may become undesirable upon thawing.

To REHEAT, place the noodles in a large skillet over medium heat, adding a small amount of water or extra butter to prevent them from drying out. Stir occasionally until heated through.
