Parsley and Garlic Capellini

This pasta couldn’t be any easier to make and it’s great for those days when you are out of groceries. I love to use fresh parsley in my recipes because it adds so much flavor. By combining parsley and garlic together and tossing it with thin pasta you get a fresher lighter tasting pasta meal.

Ingredients

3 tbs olive oil
5 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbs dried parsley
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 cups cooked capellini or angel hair pasta (I used gluten free pasta)

In large pot bring water to boil and cook pasta according to the directions on the package.

In a large saute pan heat oil on medium. Add garlic, salt, crushed red pepper and dried parsley. Simmer on low for about 15 minutes. When garlic has turned light brown add fresh chopped parsley and cooked pasta and stir together while slowly adding in parmesan cheese. If pasta gets too thick ladle in some salted pasta water. Stir together, plate and then it is ready to serve.

Yields 2-4 servings
