How to make garlic butter spaghetti

Get a pot of water on the heat and add 1 tablespoon of salt for about 1 liter of water.

Set the heat to medium and add 60 g of butter to the pan.

Cook the butter for 5 to 10 minutes until it turns golden brown.

Reduce the heat and add 3 cloves of grated garlic to the butter, then turn off the heat to avoid burning the garlic.

Add the zest of half a lemon to the garlic butter mixture.

Optionally, add a bird's eye chili, adjusting the amount based on your heat tolerance.

Cook the pasta until al dente, then add it to the garlic butter mixture.

Add a ladle of pasta water to the pan and the chili, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors.

If the sauce gets too dry, add more pasta water as needed.

Finally, add 20-30 g of grated Parmesan cheese and some fresh parsley before serving.
