1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Prepare the Butter-Garlic Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve desired creaminess.
4
Season the Pasta
Stir in the chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5
Serve
Transfer the pasta to serving plates, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
