Ingredients List

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to heat preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

  5. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the pan, tossing to coat with the sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
