Easy Weeknight Pasta Recipe

Weeknight pasta dishes are a great option for a quick and easy dinner. One recipe you could try is a simple spaghetti aglio e olio.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook until the garlic is lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
3. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the garlic and oil. Toss to coat the pasta in the oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Remove from heat and add the parsley and parmesan cheese. Toss again until the cheese is melted and the pasta is well coated.
5. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and parmesan if desired.

This recipe is a classic Italian dish that is simple and delicious. The garlic and olive oil create a flavorful sauce for the pasta, while the parsley and parmesan add a fresh and cheesy finish. It's easy to make, and you can pair it with simple salad or bread. You can also add some protein like chicken, shrimp or meatballs to make it more filling.
