Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. 2

    While pasta is cooking, mince the garlic. Finely chop the green onions, separating white and green parts.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
