Whenever he comes around I always feel that I have to push the boat out. So the other day, after a theatre trip with him, we got back home at 9.30 cold and pretty hungry. I needed to make supper pronto. I turned to my pantry staple of Barilla pasta, and less than 15 minutes later we were sitting down to filling supper of garlic and herb butter pasta. Filling yes, and also good enough, made of good enough ingredients to keep my ultimate foodie “only the best will do” friend happy. So happy that he asked for the recipe and pinched my last box of Barilla spaghetti.
This recipe is adapted from a dish I first had at a little crowded corner restaurant in Rome. And I absolutely love making it. I especially love that simple, basic ingredients combine to pack such a punch. The whole kitchen smells soooooooooo ‘I want to face plant myself in that’ good when I make it. Just think buttery, garlicky and herby heaven.
And guys seriously Barilla pasta are a major pantry staple for me. If you ever have kids come home from school hungry, and need to eat and eat right now, then Barilla will save your life. Especially their capellini n.1 (ready in 3 mins) and spaghetti (ready in 8 mins). Their range is huge and includes all the classics like fettuccine, spaghetti, bucatine, penne, fusilli. New to me is their gnocchi shaped pasta which is next on my list to try. They also now have gluten-free pasta dishes so everyone can now recreate their favourite pasta dishes.
