GARLIC-PARMESAN ANGEL HAIR + HERBS

1/8/2023

2 Comments

 
I used to eat pasta out of a little package (I think the brand was called Knorr?) when I was younger and I was innnn loooove. It's such a simple pasta dish! Good on it's own but also super easy to add in protein or veg of choice, or pair it as a side with whatever entree you're cooking up.

The wine and the red pepper flakes are def optional depending on your alcohol and heat preferences. If you don't use wine you may need an extra splash of pasta water at the end to make up for the missing liquid - but it's not a ton so you'll have to play it by ear as you go! Sometimes when I make this, I add in lemon too - so good.
Picture
What you need:
  • 1/2 lb (about half a box) of angel hair or pasta of choice
  • 1 tbsp evoo
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tbsp finely minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped or dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp chopped or dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chopped or dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup white wine (I used a non-sweet chardonnay)
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese (1/2 cup goes in the sauce, the rest is for topping)
What to do:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to prep for cooking the pasta.
  • Cook the garlic and herbs in a skillet on medium heat in the evoo and melted butter for about 4-5 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the white wine and bring to a boil. Stir continuously until the wine content reduces to about half and then add the heavy cream and stir until it's all combined. 
  • If you're using angel hair, add your pasta to the pot of salted water you started boiling in step 1. Make sure you cook it al dente, because the angel hair will continue to cook once you mix it into the sauce and this will prevent overcooking or any undesired mushiness. 
  • Once the pasta is done, transfer it over to the herb sauce along with 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese and a scoop (about 1/3 cup) of reserved pasta water.
  • Mix everything together and serve topped with parmesan cheese. Note: if you did not salt your pasta water properly the dish may need added salt.
