Quick..I need recipe for garlic butter sauce

[havi]

Ive looked all over and cant seem to find a good recipe. A little italian spot I use to go to all the time had the best pasta! Im not sure what all was in it, but it was just plain pasta(penne) with a light garlic butter sauce. It wasnt creamy, thick or real heavy either. If Im not mistaken, all it was, was garlic, butter and maybe some olive oil. Anyone have a recipe like this?

I think you already have it. I'd melt butter with olive oil, saute the garlic in it over low heat until softened and call it done. Guesstimate the quantities, better to much than not enough. Sounds delicious.

Add herbs if you want.

I agree with ranchhand, I add a little Parmesan and parsley too

50/50 olive oil, butter & lightly simmer the garlic in it don't get the heat high enough to brown the garlic or it will get bitter, then just keep warm until ready to toss with pasta.

Sounds good. I'm guessing you are talking cloves of garlic. About how many cloves do you think you would use?

 

[KatyTheChickenLady]

yes crush the fresh cloves of garlic . . . how many would depend on how much you were making. I guess you could figure 1/2 to 1 clove per serving.

mmm.. Since I purchased my pasta machine, I am going to have to try these suggestions for almost plain pasta with less the work!!

Yum....the more garlic, the better, in my world!

I think I might have to make that tomorrow night and throw some sauteed veggies on top. Then I have to sprinkle the whole thing with parmesean cheese, of course!
