Provided by Maria

Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 16 oz package of angel hair pasta
8-10 large segments of garlic, finely chopped (I usually use a whole clove)
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dried parsley
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 large lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to package directions for al dente pasta. Make sure to salt the water.
  • While waiting for water to boil and pasta to cook, add olive oil and butter to a large sauté pan. (You want the pan to be large enough that you will be able to add the pasta once it finishes cooking.)
  • Once butter has melted, add garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Sauté, stirring constantly, until it starts to turn golden brown. Do not overcook the garlic. Once it starts to turn a light brown or golden, remove from heat.
  • Once pasta is done, drain and quickly add it to the garlic, olive oil, butter mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Add grated Parmesan and squeeze of lemon, if desired. Toss again. At this point, taste it and decide if you need to add more salt. You can also drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.
  • Salt to taste if needed and serve immediately. I like to reserve a spoonful of the sautéed garlic to put in the center of the serving dish with a little more Parmesan cheese...as pictured.
  • Enjoy!

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Brown Butter and Parmesan image

Sometimes you just want a big bowl of pasta with butter and Parmesan. Starchy, silky and salty, it's always good - and practically foolproof. To make it a little more grown up, just take it one step further: Brown the butter. When you slide the butter into the skillet, let it cook until the milk solids turn a toasty brown. It adds a rich, nutty flavor that makes the dish a bit more sophisticated with very little extra work.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other long noodle
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
  • In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
  • Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta, as it will expand as it cooks.
  • Add salt to the water before boiling the pasta. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water before draining. This water can be used to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • Use unsalted butter for the sauce. Salted butter can make the sauce too salty.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese to the pasta while it is still hot. This will help the cheese to melt and coat the pasta evenly.
  • Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
