Preparation
Step 1
Cook pasta in a large generously-salted stockpot of boiling water al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta water is heating, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fragrant and just barely starts to brown.
Step 3
Slowly add in the white wine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and ready to go. Taste, and season with extra salt and/or pepper and/or crushed red pepper flakes if needed.
Step 4
Once the pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the stockpot and add in the garlic-butter mixture. Toss until combined.
Step 5
Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.

Chef's notes
Just don't skimp on the garlic, please, even if it seems like too much.
