Scale
Main Protein:
- 250 g (½ pound) salmon
Seasonings and Flavoring:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
Cooking Components:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 250 g (½ pound) spaghetti or any pasta
Instructions
- Bring a generously salted large pot of water to rolling boil, ensuring enough space for pasta to move freely during cooking.
- Submerge pasta into boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, and cook precisely according to package timing until perfectly tender yet firm.
- Before draining, carefully extract and preserve a half cup of starchy pasta water for potential sauce adjustment.
- Melt butter in a spacious skillet over medium heat, allowing it to become smooth and glossy.
- Introduce finely chopped garlic into melted butter, gently sautéing until aromatic and translucent, taking care to avoid browning.
- Transfer drained pasta directly into the fragrant garlic butter, thoroughly coating each strand with the rich, flavorful mixture.
- Should the pasta appear dry, gradually incorporate reserved pasta water, creating a silky, cohesive coating.
- Season generously with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for subtle heat.
- Plate the glistening pasta into individual serving bowls, creating an inviting presentation.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and delicately chopped parsley to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring maximum enjoyment of the dish’s vibrant textures and aromas.
