Ingredients
Scale
- 200g Spaghetti
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 100g Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Fresh chopped parsley
- 50g Grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (optional substitute for butter)
- 100g Vegan butter alternative (optional substitute for butter)
- 1 tbsp Dried parsley (optional substitute for fresh parsley)
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast (optional substitute for cheese)
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
- While the spaghetti cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the chopped parsley into the garlic butter. If you’re using dried parsley, add it a minute earlier to help release its flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spaghetti with the garlic butter mixture. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated. If it seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice a loaf of French or Italian bread in half lengthwise. Spread the remaining garlic butter evenly on both halves. Top with grated cheese if desired.
- Place the garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown.
- Plate your spaghetti alongside the warm garlic bread. Enjoy your delicious meal!
