This is a fast, minimalist, flavor-bomb pasta that tastes like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Perfect for weeknights or date night.

🍳 Instructions

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until just al dente. Save a little pasta water before draining.

  4. Toss in the drained pasta, plus a splash (1–2 tbsp) of pasta water to help it coat and shine.

  6. Stir in fresh parsley and serve hot.
  7. Top with grated cheese if you want a rich, savory finish.

 Optional Add-Ons:
