Whole Wheat Spaghetti

Serves 8 as a side dish

 

Ingredients:


12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti

1 cube butter

2 large cloves garlic, cut a few times almost through

8 ounces Pecorino cheese, shredded

Chopped parsley

Salt

 


 

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Salt lightly. Meanwhile put cube of butter in a small frying pan with the garlic & brown over medium heat, stirring frequently. When the garlic cloves become brown, remove them. Cook the butter until it is really brown, not just golden brown, but not about to burn either.

Mix butter carefully with spaghetti & put in a hot bowl in 200º oven, to keep for 2-4 minutes, or in a 150º oven to keep a little longer – or put on a Salton tray if oven is in use. To serve, put spaghetti on individual plates & top with shredded Pecorino & parsley. If spaghetti is served from a bowl, put a layer of cheese & parsley in the middle as well as on top.
