Garlic pasta

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water, following the time on the packet, until al dente. Reserve a little cooking water before draining.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, thinly slice the garlic and fry it in the melted butter over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, just until fragrant and lightly golden: watch closely, burnt garlic turns bitter.

3. 3

   Drain the pasta, tip it into the pan with the garlic, add a ladle of the reserved cooking water and toss well so the sauce coats the pasta nicely.

4. 4

   Scatter with chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper, and serve right away, piping hot.
