GARLIC PASTA SAUCE

By sassy47

Ingredients

• 1 pound pasta
• Salt
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4-6 garlic cloves, peeled & chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil and garlic over medium heat in a heavy saucepan until the garlic begins to turn pale gold. (Please, take the time to smell the cooking garlic and oil)
Remove the pan from the heat and add 3/4 of the parsley, salt & pepper to taste.
Drain the pasta and combine with the sauce in a separate bowl and toss until all the spaghetti is coated. (if I'm not entertaining, I will often use the same pot as I cooked the pasta in so I have one less pot to clean)
Serve onto warmed plates and use the remaining parsley to garnish and serve immediately.
