Garlic Pasta

Garlic pasta with herbs and plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Chop the garlic so that some is minced and some is in larger pieces.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 medium head garlic, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. While the pasta is cooking, add oil and garlic to a large skillet over low heat. Cook until oil is hot and garlic is sizzling, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in parsley, basil, oregano, and pepper flakes.
4. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add oil and garlic mixture, toss to coat, and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
5. Enjoy!
