Pretty “Parslied” Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
  • 5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add pasta; cook 7 minutes or until al dente. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes or until pale golden-brown.

Step 3

Scoop pasta directly into the skillet, tossing to coat. Add parsley and Parmesan, and toss until all the pasta strands are covered. Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups reserved pasta cooking liquid to pan as needed to loosen sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil.
