- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
To make this dish, start with a salted pot of boiling water. Cook your pasta according to package directions. I used whole wheat pasta, so they cook time may differ if you use traditional pasta.
Once your pasta is about 1/2 done cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet and toss in your minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant and slightly caramelized. Mix in the dried sage and parsley flakes. Cook for an additional 30 seconds and turn off the heat.
Drain your pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
Mix the pasta, pasta water, salt, and pepper into the garlic infused olive oil.
Serve hot.
