Angel Hair Chimichurri Pasta is a vibrant, quick, and flavorful dish featuring delicate angel hair pasta coated in a tangy chimichurri compound butter. Fresh herbs, garlic, and vinegar come together for a mouthwatering meal that’s simple to make and perfect for weeknights or any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Pasta:

4 cups filtered water

1 tsp salt

4 oz angel hair pasta (organic)

2 tbsp chimichurri compound butter (2 rounds or coins)

For Garnish:

1 tsp fresh cilantro and parsley leaves

1 tsp grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • Boil the Pasta:
    In a large pan, bring 4 cups of filtered water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

  • Cook the Pasta:
    Once the water is boiling, add the angel hair pasta. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.

  • Add the Chimichurri Butter:
    Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the chimichurri compound butter to the pan and stir until the butter has melted and coats the pasta evenly. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  • Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the pan from the heat and serve the pasta immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro, parsley leaves, and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

For added protein, try topping the pasta with grilled chicken, shrimp, or a fried egg.

Sautéed spinach, roasted cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers make excellent vegetable additions.

Spice things up by adding crushed red pepper flakes to the chimichurri butter while it melts.
