Need dinner in less than 30 minutes? This 5 Ingredient Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti will do the job and is a easy recipe that your family will LOVE!
Dinner doesn’t always have to be a long list on ingredients and hours in the kitchen. Sometimes butter, garlic, and grated Parmesan all mixed in with spaghetti will do the trick!
5 Ingredient Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti Ingredients:
- Spaghetti
- Butter
- Garlic
- Dried basil
- Parmesan
How to make 5 Ingredient Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti:
Step one: Start by cooking the spaghetti according to package direction and set aside.
- Tip: You can use any pasta you enjoy for this recipe.
Step two: Next in a medium pot melt butter and then add and sauté garlic.
Whisking until butter has started to become golden brown.
Add basil and continue to whisk.
- Tip: Wait until your butter is melted before you add in the garlic. Garlic can burn quickly so it really only needs 30-40 seconds to sauté.
Step three: Last add in your cooked spaghetti to your pot and toss until coated.
Add grated parmesan cheese and toss until coated.
Then serve and enjoy. I like adding fresh diced parsley for garnish.
