A quick and super easy pasta dish. Creamy basil, garlic and butter sauce over angel hair pasta. What could be better?
Ingredients
- 2 ounces angel hair pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Once done, set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Keep warm.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes. Dilute with the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick for your taste. Pour the sauce over the angel hair pasta to serve.
