Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
