Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot with water and add a dash of salt.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (usually about 8-10 minutes).
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic powder, black pepper, dried basil (if using dried), dried oregano, and dried thyme (if using dried) to the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the herbs are fragrant.
- If using fresh herbs, set them aside for now.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the herb oil mixture.
- Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the herb mixture. If the mixture seems too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- If you're using fresh basil and thyme, add them now along with the fresh parsley. Toss well to combine.
- Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the garlic and herb white spaghetti hot.
- Optionally, garnish with more fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried herbs, but remember the flavor intensity may differ.
- Cook the pasta al dente for a perfect texture.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the consistency of the dish if needed.
- Garnish with extra parsley or grated Parmesan cheese to elevate the flavor.
