Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic provides the best flavor and aroma to the dish. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the garlic, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the garlic from browning evenly and will make it more likely to burn.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, add a nice finishing touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

This garlic lovers pasta is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together.
