The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:

1. Spaghetti (or any other type of pasta)
2. Stick of butter
3. Minced garlic
4. (optional) The juice of one lemon
5. Parmesan cheese
6. Olive oil
7. Seasonings of your choice

Additionally, you will need a pot to cook the spaghetti in, a colander to drain the pasta, and a pan for preparing the garlic and butter mixture. Cooking utensils are necessary to add the ingredients and to mix the garlic and butter mixture, as well as a water measuring cup. Tongs will be useful for mixing the spaghetti into the garlic and butter mixture for even coating.

You will begin by boiling 2 to 3 cups of water in a pot. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add a pinch of salt, a little bit of olive oil, and the desired amount of spaghetti. Let the pasta cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until al dente. You will need to stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

While the pasta is cooking, warm a pan to medium low heat. This should take around 4 minutes. Once heated, place the stick of butter in the pan and stir it around with a spatula for it to melt evenly.

Once the butter has fully melted, add a spoonful of minced garlic to the pan and use the spatula to mix it around. From here, let it cook until the mixture is fragrant, stirring occasionally. This should take around 5 to 8 minutes.

After the pasta is finished cooking, but before draining it, take a cup of the pasta water and pour it into the garlic and butter mix. This is where, if you want, you can add the juice of one lemon to the mixture as well. Then, mix it around again with the spatula to combine.

Drain the pasta using the colander. Take the drained pasta and place it on the garlic and butter mixture. Add some parmesan cheese on top. Grab the tongs and mix the pasta around thoroughly in the garlic and butter mixture until you are satisfied. For best results, you can twist the pasta around with the tongs in the mixture.

Once you are finished mixing the pasta and the mixture, serve it on a plate. From here, simply add your seasonings and more parmesan cheese if you want, and you are done. Now all that’s left is to enjoy this delicious spaghetti meal.
