Garlic Herbed Spaghetti
This garlic herbed spaghetti recipe is easy and quick with comforting flavors. How quick? It literally takes five minutes after cooking the pasta. Homemade spaghetti with a few simple ingredients is a classic dinner recipe. And this version makes for a perfect, quick weeknight meal when served with my easy tossed green salad or even a simple slice of bread.
Preparing this garlic herbed spaghetti is very simple. First we sauté garlic in butter, then add pasta along with a few dry ingredients. Mix it well together for a minute or two and it’s done. It’s that simple! I have made this recipe a few times when I had friends over and everyone loves it.
Italian cuisine is a favorite of many because it’s both easy to fix and (usually) doesn’t take long. This vegan pasta recipe is so good that I could honestly eat it every day. Garlic herbed spaghetti is very adaptable, too. You can add your choice of vegetables and/or protein. Please let me know if you decide to add in something else. I would love to learn from you!
