Garlic Pasta
I love the simplicity of this dish, you get to taste all of the flavors! Pop in some Italian sausage or burrata if you wish to make it a bit more filling, or swap out the basil for a different herb, like oregano or tarragon to change up the flavor. Enjoy this go to!

5 cloves garlic, sliced thin
