There’s something incredibly comforting about a simple bowl of butter garlic pasta… it’s one of those recipes that proves you don’t need a long list of ingredients or a complicated recipe to create something truly delicious.

This butter garlic pasta is rich, aromatic and comes together in no time. You can add any veggies or proteins of your choice (I've added mushrooms).

The garlic gently sautéed in butter fills the kitchen with the most inviting aroma, while the mushrooms add a lovely earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the silky strands of spaghetti. A generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese at the end ties everything together, resulting in a creamy and saucy pasta.

Notes

You can add any veggies like mushroom, capsicum or broccoli or cooked chicken, beef, prawns etc;

I added cooked mushrooms. I used 200 gms of mushrooms for the above measurements. I added the cooked mushrooms along with the spaghetti.

You can use same qty of cheese slices instead of cheese cubes. 

You can also garnish the pasta with fried garlic, if you like.
