Description
A delightful gluten-free pasta dish with a rich herb butter sauce that is both simple and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz gluten free angel hair pasta
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 small shallot (minced, ~2 Tablespoons)
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives (slightly rounded)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (slightly rounded)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (slightly rounded)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed between your fingertips)
- salt (to taste)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (not powdered or pre-grated)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add angel hair pasta and cook until it’s just shy of al dente (pasta will continue to cook slightly in the skillet with the herb butter). DO NOT DRAIN.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over heat that’s a touch above medium then add shallots and saute until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic then saute until extremely fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
- Add dried chives, parsley, basil, rosemary, and salt then stir to combine.
- Use tongs to transfer cooked angel hair pasta from the cooking pot to the skillet then add parmesan cheese and a scoop of pasta cooking water (~1/4 cup) and then start stirring with tongs or a spatula.
- Continue to stir, adding pasta cooking water as needed, until a light and silky sauce has formed around the pasta. Don’t be afraid to keep adding the pasta cooking water – it will not dilute the flavor of the dish!
- Scoop angel hair pasta onto plates then serve.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
- You can adjust the herbs according to your preference.
