I made Garlic Crack Sauce Pasta a few weeks back on insta-stories on a whim because I hadn’t had dinner and it was 9pm and I needed something stat. Hanger (hungry + anger) was setting in! Naturally I reverted back to my 7 year old self and made the pasta I would order on Tuesday nights at Italian Night our country club. Side note – that sounds so much more snobby that it actually is I promise.
All the adults would get fancy pastas and I remember vividly walking up to the pasta station and knowing exactly what I wanted. I wanted an olive oil sauce with tons of garlic and lemon and cheese. That’s it. I’d add extra salt and pepper once I got back to my fam and then HOSE it down. Let’s just take a minute to reminisce about the good old days when I was playing like 3 hours of tennis a day and swimming every morning and could eat 213108293 lbs of pasta a day and still be a string bean! Anyways… I’ve upped the ante, added my new Go-To Seasoning blend for maximum flavor and life is look pretty good!!
