Lemon Garlic Butter Pasta
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook it according to the package instructions. Remember to reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining the spaghetti.

  2. After draining, return the empty pot to the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.

  3. Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook it until it becomes fragrant, which should take about 30 seconds.

  4. Next, mix in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, and ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water. Remove the pot from the heat.

  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pot and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more reserved pasta water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.

  6. If you like, garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
