Instructions
Boil the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
Saute the Garlic
While pasta cooks melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden but not burned.
Toss and Emulsify
Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss well with the garlic butter. Splash in a few tablespoons of pasta water to create a silky sauce that coats every noodle evenly.
Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and top with grated parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot and glossy.
