Pasta with Garlic and Cheese

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This super simple recipe is almost not a recipe! It's kind of like a deconstructed pesto, using parsley instead of basil.

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. spaghetti pasta
  • 5 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 3/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, chop the garlic and parsley and saute the garlic in the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Combine with the parsley and salt and pepper in serving bowl. Drain the pasta and toss with the garlic/parsley mixture. Top with cheese and toss again. Serve with more cheese, if desired. Serves 4
