Hello summertime goodness.
Ingredients
Salted boiling water
¼ cup Olive Oil
2 tablespoon Salted Butter
5 cloves Garlic roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 lb Angel Hair Pasta uncooked (use gluten free pasta to make recipe gluten free)
3 Lemons zested
⅓ cup Lemon Juice
½ cup Fresh Basil
Instructions
Get a small pot of salted water boiling.
Meanwhile, add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Then add butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Cook for 3 minutes or so or until the garlic is starting to turn golden.
Add the uncooked angel hair pasta to the garlic oil pan and add two ladles of boiling salted water.
Gently shake the pan so the water can absorb into the noodles. As it dries out, add another 2 ladles of the boiling salted water (or about 1 cup of water) at a time, moving the pasta continuously until the pasta is al dente.
Once it’s al dente, turn the heat off and add the lemon zest, the lemon juice and the fresh basil. Toss everything together and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately.
