Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Recipe - AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories, while pecorino offers a similar flavor profile.

Boil a pot of water and add oil to it.

Add spaghetti pasta to the boiling water.

Cook the pasta for 30 seconds to one minute less than the package instructions for a firmer texture.

In a semi-deep pan, melt butter and add minced garlic.

Check the pasta for doneness by tasting it.

Once the garlic is fragrant, toss the pasta with the garlic and butter to combine and emulsify.

Add a little bit of pasta water if the mixture is too dry.

Season the pasta with ajinomoto umami seasoning and toss again.

Transfer the pasta to a plate and garnish with grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and parsley.
