Christina's Notes
- Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or lemon zest added into the sauce would be a fantastic addition.
- Black Pepper: Top with freshly ground black pepper and parsley.
- Butter: We're using unsalted butter in this recipe but you can go ahead and use salted butter if you'd like.
- Uses: Use this sauce on wings, garlic knots or anything else you'd like to try it on.
- Pasta Water: Save a cup of the reserved pasta water to thin down the sauce if needed.
- Different pasta: My favorite pasta is rotini or penne but spaghetti or linguini would be great with this yummy garlic and butter pasta.
- Protein: The best garlic butter pasta is great with roasted fish, chicken or steak!
