Recipe

There’s something utterly satisfying about Garlic Butter Pasta—tender noodles coated in a glossy, golden sauce that’s rich with butter, fragrant with garlic, and finished with a snowfall of fresh Parmesan. It’s the kind of dish that feels fancy yet comes together effortlessly, perfect for weeknight dinners or when you just need a bowl of pure comfort.

A quick grate of Parmesan with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you light, fluffy shreds that melt beautifully into the sauce—no hassle, just perfect texture every time. Let’s make this classic even easier.

🍝Ingredients (Serves 4)

12 oz spaghetti or your favorite long pasta

½ cup unsalted butter

6 garlic cloves, minced or very finely sliced

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (plus extra for serving)

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a gentle kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🍳Step-by-Step: Garlic Butter Bliss in 4 Moves

1. Shred the Parmesan

Lock your crank cheese grater with its suction base. Insert the fine shred blade. Feed in a block of Parmesan—one smooth crank for light, fluffy shreds that melt perfectly into the sauce. Set aside (grate extra for topping!).

2. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until just al dente—reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining.

3. Build the Garlic Butter Base

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook gently until fragrant and lightly golden—don’t let it burn. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little warmth.

4. Toss with Parmesan

Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter. Gradually sprinkle in the shredded Parmesan, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed until the sauce becomes silky and clings to every strand. Plate immediately. Top with extra Parmesan, more black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
