First, let’s just take a moment to appreciate how delicious this pasta looks. Seriously, if you could take a picture of comfort and slap it on a plate, this would be it:
Ingredients
Before we get all MasterChef in here, let’s gather our ingredients like a gatherer in a gathering!
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Now that we have everything ready, it’s time to wok your magic:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once you feel like you could launch a rocket with the bubbles, toss in the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions. I mean, don’t forget to put on some pasta dance music while you wait—it helps with the flavor!
- While the pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and dried Italian herbs. Cook until the kitchen smells like an Italian grandma just walked in, which should take about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic! That’s like having a bad hair day on the day of your wedding. Yikes!
- Drain the pasta, making sure to save a cup of the pasta water (because we don’t waste food around here!).
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss it with the garlic and oil mixture. This is where the pasta gets its love. If it feels a bit dry, splash in some reserved pasta water, and let it mingle for a minute.
- Sprinkle that glorious grated Parmesan cheese all over the pasta like you’re an artisan chef. Add salt and pepper to taste, and give it one last good mix.
- If you want to be fancy (who are we kidding, you probably do), toss in some chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Voilà! You’ve created a masterpiece that would make even the most refined taste buds dance with joy. Serve it up hot and watch it disappear faster than a magician’s rabbit! Enjoy your pasta triumph!
