GARLIC LOVERS' SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large generously-salted stockpot of boiling water al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

• 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.
• Once the pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the stockpot and add in the garlic-butter mixture. Toss until combined.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.
