I adopted this recipe from Zaar some time ago and finally got round to trying it myself. It's quick and simple and full of fresh flavours. I prefer using basil but the original recipe stated parsley so I left it here for you to choose. Try adding some sliced black olives, fried or marinated mushrooms or sun blush tomatoes at the end.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup garlic (minced)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped basil or parsley
grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1
To make spaghetti sauce, cook garlic in butter and olive oil over medium low heat just until the garlic is soft but not browned.
2
Stir in the parsley or basil and cook for 2 minutes (stirring constantly) until the herbs are limp but still green.
3
Pour sauce hot over cooked spaghetti, toss lightly to coat and top with parmesan cheese.
4
Serve with french bread and extra Parmasan cheese at the table.
5
This garlic sauce will cover 3/4-1 pound of spaghetti or other pasta.

Simple to whip together and great flavors. I used fresh Italian parsley instead of basil, and Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan (personal preference). I also added mushrooms while sauteeing the garlic. Next time I may add some diced tomatoes at the very end right before serving, for a beautiful burst of color. I served this alongside Pork Chops w/ Mushroom Madeira Sauce (from the Food Network). It went well together! Thanks for posting!

I cooked the garlic very slowly and it got very mellow and yummy. My favorite way to have pasta. Not a very good thing to cook for a date tho, lol. I added mushrooms the last time I made it, with great results.

I loved it, my DH liked it but would only give it 4 stars. I sauted some chicken in the pan first, then cooked the sauce. It got up all the tasty little bits from the chicken. Then I cut the chicken and served it on top. We also added some julienned sun dried tomatoes to the top. I think next time I am going to try it with even more garlic. MMMM thanks for a great recipe.
