Notes

Always cook spaghetti in a large pot of salty water. Cook until aldente or a bit tender as per your preference. But make sure its nonsticky after cooking. You can toss it in olive oil to avoid sticking.
We have added salt while cooking spaghetti so add salt keeping that in mind to the sauce.
While cooking spaghetti add little more salt than usual and do not overcook.
Take care not to burn garlic it should be fried only till golden.
Take care while cooking the sauce - do not burn the butter so be quick and tossing is the key here.
