Calories: 569kcal
Ingredients
- 6 oz spaghetti or long pasta of choice
- 4 tbsp butter divided
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
- 1 oz caviar or more or less as desired, to finish
- chives thinly sliced, to finish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti 2 minutes shy of al dente according to the package. Reserve 3/4 cups of the hot pasta water and drain the noodles.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and cook, stirring, until the garlic is aromatic but not brown.
- Carefully add a 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the skillet (it will bubble up, so be careful) and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk the pasta water, butter, and garlic together, to emulsify into a loose sauce.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and continue to cook over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid reduces to a glossy, thick sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the cheese, tossing to melt and combine, thinning with extra pasta water if needed. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Divide the garlicky pasta between to plates and finish with a generous sprinkle of thinly sliced chives and dollops of caviar. Enjoy hot.
