a few of my favorite things...

Last night while making dinner I stumbled upon this delicious pasta dish! I don't think I've mentioned yet that my husband and I are vegetarian, and therefor all my recipes will be too! But, vegetarian or not, this pasta is "yum" and the ingredients are just a few of my favorite things:

Garlic Spaghetti
(serves 4)

Ingredients:
1/2 c. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
salt
1 lb/450 g dried spaghetti
3 tbsp dried parsley flakes
teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 c. fresh Parmesan, grated

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic & pinch of salt and cook over low heat stirring constantly, until golden brown, then remove saucepan from heat.

2. Bring large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, return to boil & cook according to box directions. Drain and return to saucepan.

3. Add the olive oil-and-garlic mixture to the pasta and toss to coat thoroughly. Add parsley & pepper and toss to coat again.

4. Transfer the pasta to warmed serving dish & sprinkle with Parmesan. Salt to taste.

Enjoy!
