Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) package dry spaghetti
8 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt butter with garlic very slowly to avoid burning the garlic. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and parsley. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste, if desired.
  • Toss pasta into the skillet until well-coated with butter. Increase heat to medium, and cook until pasta is heated through and has absorbed some of the butter. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

1 teaspoon capers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound penne pasta
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

Add tomato-ramp mixture and cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pasta water and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
