Recipe Tips
The key to perfect garlic butter pasta lies in balancing the garlic flavor. If you're sensitive to garlic, start with half the amount and add more to taste. For the best texture, be sure to cook the pasta just until al dente—it will continue to soften slightly when tossed with the hot sauce. If you're concerned about the alcohol content, know that most of it cooks off during the simmering process, leaving just the flavor behind. However, you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth if preferred. For a more luxurious version, finish the dish with a tablespoon of cold butter swirled in just before serving—this creates a silky emulsion that coats each strand of pasta beautifully.
