Ingredients:

• 8 oz angel hair pasta
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
   • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Prepare the Butter Garlic Sauce:

   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
   • Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, stirring occasionally.

3. Season the Sauce:

   • Once the butter is melted, add the garlic powder, red pepper flakes, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and Italian seasoning to the skillet.
   • Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:

   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
   • If the pasta seems dry, gradually add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

5. Season to Taste:

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Continue to toss the pasta until everything is well combined and heated through.

6. Serve:

   • Transfer the pasta to serving plates.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
