Peel and mince about 10 cloves of garlic.

When there are 2 minutes left, melt 6 tbsp salted butter in a non-stick pan.

Add minced garlic to the melted butter; stir for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Add the prepared sauce to the garlic and butter; mix briefly and turn off the heat when tiny bubbles form around the rim.

Drain the pasta or scoop it directly from the pot into the sauce, saving some pasta water if needed.

Mix the sauce with the noodles until evenly coated; add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese in phases for even distribution.

Top with chopped scallions and crushed red pepper flakes, and add more cheese if desired.
