Description
A delicious gluten-free pasta dish featuring a blend of herbs and butter for a rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz gluten free angel hair pasta
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 small shallot (minced, approximately 2 Tablespoons)
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives (slightly rounded)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (slightly rounded)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (slightly rounded)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed between your fingertips)
- Salt (to taste)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (not powdered or pre-grated)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add angel hair pasta and cook until it’s just shy of al dente (the pasta will continue to cook slightly in the skillet with the herb butter). DO NOT DRAIN.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over heat that’s a touch above medium, then add shallots and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until extremely fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add dried chives, parsley, basil, rosemary, and salt, then stir to combine.
- Use tongs to transfer cooked angel hair pasta from the cooking pot to the skillet, then add parmesan cheese and a scoop of pasta cooking water (approximately 1/4 cup), and start stirring with tongs or a spatula.
- Continue to stir, adding pasta cooking water as needed, until a light and silky sauce has formed around the pasta. Don’t be afraid to keep adding the pasta cooking water; it will not dilute the flavor of the dish!
- Scoop angel hair pasta onto plates and serve.
Notes
- This dish works well with various gluten-free pasta brands.
- You can adjust the herbs according to your taste.
- Fresh herbs can also be used for a more vibrant flavor.
