A delightful twist on a classic pasta dish, combining the rich flavors of browned butter, garlic, and feta cheese with a hint of fresh herbs.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce later if needed.
In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to brown slightly, then add the olive oil.
Stir constantly to prevent the butter from burning and achieve a nutty aroma.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to overcook the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Toss the cooked spaghetti in the pan with the butter and garlic mixture until well coated.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems too dry.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta and grated Parmesan cheese over the spaghetti and toss to combine.
Mix gently to ensure the cheeses are evenly distributed without breaking the feta too much.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
