Poor Man's Garlic Butter Pasta

By msippigrl

Simple side dish that goes well with any kind of meat and vegetables. And did I mention, it's also super easy and quick to make!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces angel hair pasta
• 4 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 green onion, chopped (I didn't have any)
• 1/4 cup grated or finely shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta in salted water until tender as directed on package.

Meanwhile, in a small 1-qt. saucepan or skillet melt the butter over low heat; when melted add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly so it doesn't brown. Remove from heat and stir in the green onion.

Drain pasta well in a colander then transfer to a serving bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the pasta and toss to coat. Add Parmesan and toss well. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
