Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry spaghetti (or any pasta shape will work)
  • 1 large head of garlic (about 12 cloves) peeled and roughly-chopped
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning store-bought or homemade
  • pinch (each) of salt freshly-cracked black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes
  • optional toppings: freshly-grated Parmesan cheese extra black pepper, extra crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in a large generously-salted stockpot of boiling water al dente according to package instructions.  Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta water is heating, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.  Add the garlic and saute for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fragrant and just barely starts to brown.
  • Slowly add in the white wine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.  Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and ready to go.  Taste, and season with extra salt and/or pepper and/or crushed red pepper flakes if needed.
  • Once the pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the stockpot and add in the garlic-butter mixture.  Toss until combined.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.
