- 2 tablespoons Butter (can substitute with olive oil)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (more can be added for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic in a large skillet with melted butter over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant.
