Dotdash Meredith Culinary Team
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Slowly melt butter with garlic, ensuring the garlic doesn't burn. Season with parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the butter. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the pasta is heated through and absorbs some of the butter. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
