I butter and garlic salt the al dente noodles, then add the sauce... It's pretty amazing.

I ****ing love Spaghetti. Homemade, of course. Except this place called Mona Lisa in Little Italy of San Diego, only truly great spaghetti I've ever had from a restaurant.

Garlic cream sauce on whole wheat pasta with vegetables and chicken. Quite possibly my favourite food.

Garlic powder is the way to go.

Or even garlic cloves but Garlic Salt is a bit much.

I like putting on a lot of garlic, so if I'd use garlic salt I'd probably get hypertension within the year. And I don't really use salt all that much. I only use it if it's completely necessary.

exactly that's the thing about garlic salt it's sodium content is super high. I even feel like somethings it is higher than just using table salt itself.

Don't much care for spaghetti. Too irrational format. I prefer macaroni.

100% Serious: I eat spaghetti with a tomato/meat sauce between 8-12 times a week, every week. I've got a bunch of killer recipes for pasta that I've saved over the years. Here's a really, really good one:

Presidio Pasta

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup diced garlic
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 2 chilies poblanos, seeded and cut into matchsticks
• 3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
• 3.5 oz chopped prosciutto
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until light golden brown, about 6 minutes. Do not burn. Strain oil into a glass measuring cup, reserve garlic. Break garlic apart when cooled.

Heat reserved oil in a heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sauté 5 minutes. Add chilies and sauté another 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil, prosciutto, and half the garlic and sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.

Remove from the heat. Add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining basil and garlic.

Serve over pasta with the remaining parmesan cheese.
