This was a good recipe. I only used 1 tsp oregano (personal taste). I had leftover spaghetti and added the butter sauce and then put it on the oven at 350 while I cooked the meat for supper. This allowed the spices to mingle with the butter. It was really good.
My family liked this recipe. I followed the other reviews and added 1.5 cups of milk and 1 tbs of flour to make the sauce thicker. I also cooked sausage and peppers on the side and combined them before adding it to the pasta. Lastly, I added red pepper flakes to the plates for me and my husband. He is very picky and liked it.
Another awesome simple recipe. I smothered my wide egg noodles with this sauce and it is another FAVE.
Love it, I just followed the other reviews and added a splash of milk, salt , pepper, and cornstarch instead of flour and it was amazing! I added shrimp and scallops with a squeeze of lemon, num num num. Next time I will try flour, because my cornstarch kinda stuck together. Maybe I didn't whisk it in fast enough... but Im sure if you stick with the basic and make a little twist of your own, it will be amazing!!! =)
I have made it 3 times now and like it just the way it is. Thanks, Christine. We are vegetarians, so this is a good staple meal for us.
Came out really well. I followed some of the suggestions in the comments and added flour to thicken it. It's so simple and quick it makes even a newbie like me feel like a home cook. I'm sure to make this again and try not to forget the cheese.
Added more garlic, steamed broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms to the sauce on linguine pasta and the family loved it. It is a great sauce to work off of.
I, personally, luuuv garlic, so I added an extra clove and increased the serving size of the entire sauce to suit the fam. It was a little too much for the youngsters, but everyone else enjoyed it.
This sauce was great, however we felt that it was lacking just a little bit and added a pinch of kosher flake salt to give it a bit more seasoning. Great recipe. Used it with pasta shells and ate it with veal. LOVED IT!
This recipe was really good! Very rich. I served it over leftover egg noodles that I rewarmed in the pan with the sauce. The only thing I feel the recipe might need would be some salt and pepper, but that's personal preference.
I didn't really change the recipe, except that we didn't have the right herbs so I substituted herbs de Provence. I steamed carrot slices and green beans until barely cooked, then tossed them in this sauce. My son and husband loved it!
I made a "healthy" version of a recipe and my husband wasn't impressed. Luckily, I found this butter garlic and "fixed" the recipe and now he'll eat it anytime I make it.
Simple and tasty. My boyfriend always requests this over boxed pasta. (I can't blame him. :)
put it with angel hair pasta, it was ok. Going to try and put it with a sauce next time.
I too used a lot less oregano and basil. I played around with the amounts of butter & garlic to get the desired taste. I even added a little olive oil. It was great tossed with pasta!
When I did this recipe The sauce turned out green. This also was not exactly tasty but my family liked it.
I did the 6 servings and way way too much oregano. A 1/4 of a cup doesnt work sorry....
Do you think the recipe would be any good if I use garlic powder or something?I don't have any fresh garlic at the moment
This recipe is easy to make. I added some sauteed zucchini and chopped tomatoes to it. It tasted very good.
Great base. I always add broken saltine pieces and cook until crunchy. Also good with capers and top with Parmesan when served. (It’s not really garlic butter sauce if you make it creamy but I’m sure that’s good too)
Modified with more fresh garlic cloves (2), margarine instead of butter, some minced onion flakes. Added a bit of olive oil , 1 tbsp flour to make a rue and 1.5 c milk and some 4 slices of mozza cheese. I topped with fresh shrimp, cause I had some....D' LICIOUS....mmmm! SO a creamy garlic butter sauce was created!
Add some pesto sauce and used this as a sauce for pizza with chicken and artichoke hearts. Awesome sauce
This was simple and great! I added a little Olive oil and it was even better!
Please do not change this recipe (well, unless you want extra garlic!); drizzled over pasta it was terrific and just like in the better restaurants.
I am sorry, but I will never do this again, way to hot, way to much red pepper,, and I love garlic but this just didn't work,, and I agree to the chicken seasoning was way over done,,, I will keep looking for a recipie
This was very good. I sauteed the garlic only for a couple minutes so it would be stronger (I love garlic). I brought it to work for lunch all week and my co-workers pretty much hovered over me, drooling as I ate!
I'm not real big on oregano so I cut it way back. I like the ideas that others have added.
this is a great simple recipe. i added a quarter teaspoon of black pepper and combined it with sauteed chicken, asparagus, and the zest of 1 whole lemon for a quick gourmet meal.
This was a great sauce as is. It was flavorful and easy. The second time I made it, I added milk to make it a cream based sauce. I also added cooked pieces of bacon to the sauce. Delicious!
Very nice. I added a bit of salt and substituted garlic powder, but will try minced garlic next time.
I made this and it was great. I added basil and parsley and shrimp and scallops.
This was terrible...the reviews were terrible....knorr butter and herb pasta from the bag puts this to shame. This was the definition of bland. Don’t add milk and flour. Once you realize you’ve made a mistake making this, melt some Parmesan cheese in it to make it less terrible.
Sooo good and simple. wanted to make a pasta sauce that wasn't as heavy and thick as the usual speghetti sauce. consider: adding lots of garlic, Itallian seasoning, can of fire roasted tomatoes. once cooked I added a long pour of heavy cream and did not stir it in. looks so pretty. topped angel hair pasta with this sauce then fresh basil and ramano cheese. Cheers
Added one more garlic, splash of olive oil with the butter and at the end Parmesan Romano cheese......AWESOME!!!
It's a pretty good base recipe, but the second time around I tried some of the tweaks other people have posted and liked it a lot better.
I made it except I added about 3tbs flour and about 4tbs or more milk and Parmesan parsley Italian season and it is amazing
I made this to go on gnocchi. Very good, easy, quick sauce. Nothing special but good in a pinch. I added some salt and pepper.
I made this for my girlfriend to put on grilled chicken breast instead of pasta. I cooked the chicken breast, then coated it in the sauce on the frying pan, letting the flavor cook through for a couple of minutes on medium-low heat. Tasted amazing.
Easy and excellent
I used this recipe for a quick shrimp scampi dinner. I doubled the garlic and cut down on the seasoning. I also added a little bit of olive oil. Came out great
Added a little butter, cut WAY back on seasonings. Went great with a breaded hwrb chicken recipe we found on here as well.
As usual I try to go through the comments and take everyone's suggestions.. I followed the directions except the oregano and basil I just used a couple of dashes of both. I used sliced red onion and chopped tomatoes for color and flavor. It was absolutely amazing.
Overall not a bad taste but, has too many herbs, it seems like that's all your eating, cut down on the herbs and add more garlic and butter to make this a better sauce.
Great base with many possibilities! I too made it into a cream and tossed it in with garden fresh steamed brussel sprouts. It was awesome!!! Served with smoked sausage really topped off the flavor burst. A must try! Thanks for sharing!
I followed one of the reviews and I’m glad I did. I added flour and milk to make a cream sauce. The seasoning level for this recipe would have been too much if I hadn’t added the milk and flour with some salt. (1 1/2 cup milk and 1-2 tablespoons flour)
This is a great recipe, i used everything the same but cut down to 1tsp of oregano.I added some shrimp and zuchinni and it was great.
Loved this recipe! I used roasted garlic and clarified garlic butter then I put the sauce over some bowtie pasta. So delicious!
I love linguini in clam sauce and thought I'd try this simple recipe, my husband raved over it. I added a can of mushrooms, it was good.
This sauce tasted really good over some bowtie pasta. I also added extra milk to make it creamier and reduced the amount of basil. A little bit of extra salt wouldn't hurt either.
This was perfect! I made some chicken that came out dry so I made this sauce and drizzled it over the chicken. I then poured the rest over some Linguine! Yum!
This is a very good basic recipe. Obviously, if you look at the other reviews, this recipe can be customized to suit your taste with respect to herbs. I did (like everyone seems to do) alter the recipe just a bit. I added a bit of olive oil to the butter while melting, because my mother taught me to ALWAYS add a bit of oil so as not to scald the butter. I also substituted parsley instead of oregano. Just my preference. I also added salt and pepper to taste. The fam loved it, and it was very quick and easy. Yes I will make it again.
I was making some porcini and truffle ravioli (from Trader Joe's) and I needed a simple complimentary sauce. This recipe was enough for a 1/2 lb. my only variation was adding a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Perfect!
This is a good recipe, but I tweaked it by adding a bit of whole milk and salt. I did use garlic powder instead of a clove. I poured it over cooked pasta and mixed in a bit of mayonnaise. Not all too "healthy", but delicious!
I am sorry, but I will never do this again, way to hot, way to much red pepper,, and I love garlic but this just didn't work,, and I agree to the chicken seasoning was way over done,,, I will keep looking for a recipie
Great simple sauce to make with ingredients on hand...good base for basic sauce...
I added some green onions, and sauteed some veggies with it. It was so easy, i 'd use this all the time.
This sauce was good, although heavy feeling for a light sauce. I made it just as the recipe stated and tossed it over some linguine before adding some fresh cherry tomatoes to liven it up a little. Next time I might make it a cream base but it's overall great!
With the addition of milk and flour as another reviewer suggested, this was excellent! Next time I'll use half unsalted butter/half regular butter, as it was a little on the salty side.
Great in a pinch - I had a late night pasta craving and nothing resembling sauce in the house. I used a few shakes of Italian Seasoning, some dried parsley flakes, a little salt and a lot of fresh ground pepper. If I could have any pasta sauce, this would probably not be my first choice, but it is pretty tasty and you're practically guaranteed to have all the necessary ingredients on hand.
Simple recipe - gave me the idea to experiment. Didn't have much in the apt. so I started throwing things together as I do: Butter (salted) Garlic Clove (minced) Two sprinklings of basil and oregano (at the beginning and a bit more at the end) Salt and Pepper to Taste Sweet Peas a teaspoonish of flour (to thicken it a little) a teaspoonish of romano cheese Then I coated it over penne Not bad for an experiment. mmmmm
VERY GOOD!!!! Easy to make, I served this sauce with "Crushed Black Pepper Fettuccine" noodles and it was great. I made it for V-Day and it was just the perfect touch of flavors in every bit. thank you for the recipe.
I added a little more butter. This is very easy and very good with any type of pasta.
Very good. Use 3/4 of the butter, and about 1/4 to 1/3 of the oregano. Used a touch of garlic salt as well. Also added broccoli and shrimp...yummy!
it was a good recipe. I'm not much of a cook, and it probably would've been better if I'd had the necessary ingredients. I like it!
I was worried about the chicken getting cooked through so I sliced 3 big chicken breasts in half. I'm so glad I did because in barely 30 min the cheese and croutons were brown. Chicken was cooked through perfectly! Family loved it! I served it with angel hair pasta that had melted butter, garlic, and italian seasoning. Perfect meal!
Lacked flavor and did not reheat well at all.
This was very good! I followed a tip from a review and made it a cream base which was so simple and worth it. I did had a taste before adding the milk and flour and it would have still been good without it as well.
This is a delicious recipe that is so easy to make. We put it on spinach pasta and it was fantastic!!
I didn't really get the taste of the spices that were added into the butter. I mainly tasted butter. I did make the sauce as I put the water on to boil for the pasta and then right after I drain the pasta I put it right into the sauce to heat it back up.
This is pretty good, but nothing special. I may make it again and experiment with adding a little salt or something to give it more flavor. I’m not sure why someone would try to make this into a cream sauce, but to each their own I guess. It’s not really supposed to be a cream sauce.
Good Recipe. I added quite a bit to this for dinner. I have a recipe for Shrimp. Melt a stick of butter on a cookie sheet, slice a lemon and place them on the butter. Layer raw shrimp on the lemons, sprinkle with Italian seasonings. (I used some of the spices called for in the sauce). Bake at 350 for about 15 Minutes. I use Medium shrimp and they cook best in 13. Anyway this produces a lot of melted butter, so I did the shrimp, then used the butter from that plus some for the sauce. Made fettuccine noodles, and served the shrimp and sauce in a bowl for self serve. There was a lot of sauce left over, so I let it harden a little, then stirred it until all the spices were mixed in. It is in the fridge for next time.
