Ingredients
- 9 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Directions
In a small saucepan, cook the garlic in the olive oil for 30 minutes on low heat. Stir occasionally to keep the garlic from drying out. In a medium saucepan, add the butter and tomatoes, and stir until well blended and the butter is melted. Stir in the garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Allow the flavors to meld for 10 minutes. Toss with the spaghetti and serve garnished with basil and Parmesan

Very easy to make, and a good sauce. I tried it twice, using 12 cloves the second time. I noticed the garlic the more I ate it, but I think the garlic I used just wasn't as flavorful. I wish we had easy access to Christopher Ranch garlic, I think they have the best.

I love this combo. What I do is to cook half the garlic and keep the other half raw garlic(and sometimes extra garlic as I love garlic and add it at the end along with the grated parmesan cheese. I don't always use the crushed tomatoes - I sometimes like it without. In addition, I also use fresh or dried oregano as well if I want a more enhanced flavor and at times add fresh lemon zest and juice (with or without the tomatoes for a more vibrant flavor to perk it up. All the above gives this receipe pizzazz! Sometimes I add shallots, green onions or fresh chives for variety.
