Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve about ½ cup of pasta water.
Preparing the Garlic Sauce
- In a large skillet, combine unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Lower the heat, and sprinkle in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Stir gently until the cheeses melt into a creamy sauce. Gradually incorporate reserved pasta water until you achieve desired consistency.
Combining Pasta and Sauce
- Add the cooked spaghetti into the skillet, tossing until each strand is coated in the cheesy garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving the Dish
- Plate the spaghetti and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
