Don't. Use whole wheat spaghetti. The wheat is too strong a flavor for the garlic, also crushed or sauce tomatoes are better than diced which were watery and did not coat pasta well.loved the simple pantry recipe

I am a huge pasta lover and this was the first of Melissa's recipes I have tried. I thought it was delicious! I do agree with some of the other reviews, too much oil. The oil did not completely mix in with the sauce so it looked really greasy. I will probably only had half of the oil next time. But other than that it was delicious! I love garlic but I didn't think it was too overpowering. Can't wait to try more of her recipes!

I am a big fan and I made the recipe today. I loved the strong garlic taste, and we do eat garlic in most everything, but I did not use the entire 1/2 cup olive oil in the spaghetti. I drained off 1/2 the oil and only used 1/2 the amount of butter. I will use less of the oil in the spaghetti next time and try to cut down the butter also. I only had fire roasted tomatoes and they were great with it. I agree with the other poster than fresh or canned roma tomatoes might be better than regular canned. All in all I will make it again as it was like having your garlic bread in your spaghetti. I also think it would be good with green peas and a la spaghetti carbonara.

I watched the show and made it for dinner the same night. The garlic spaghetti tasted better than a side of pasta you eat at a good Italian restaurant. The depth of flavor exploded in our mouths. I added dried basil and red pepper flakes to the garlic olive oil mixture to make it spicier and doubled the crushed tomatoes so there was more sauce.

I just loved your show today, and was so impressed that I decided to cook it all, for my business meeting today. I wanted you to know that everything was so delicious,and of course gave Melissa all the credit. I am making copies of these recipes because everyone at my meeting wants the recipes. The secret ingredient of butter in the sauce, was amazing. No one at my business meeting believed it. I would say the butter took the acidity out of the sauce and gave it a creamy taste. Thank you, Melissa

I tried this recipe today and I loved it! But then again I'm a garlic lover. If you don't like garlic, this recipe is not for you. It was so easy and inexpensive and who doesn't have a box of spaghetti, golive oil, garlic, and canned tomatoes in their pantry? I fed 4 unexpected people who came over to watch the footbal game. They enjoyed it.

It was excellent. Makes about 8 servings,so there's less than a tablespoon of butter per serving. The house smells awesome, yet the pasta didn't have a strong garlic taste!
