Ingredients

• 400 g Spaghetti
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• 50 g Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 120 ml Pasta water
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120 ml of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and finely chop them.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and chopped rosemary, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Lower the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted. Add the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

Step 5

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the garlicky, herbed oil. Gradually pour in the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce clings perfectly to the pasta.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the pasta to serving plates or a large bowl. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Garlic and Rosemary Pasta!
