  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup white wine

Notes

  • Always salt your pasta water. Salting your pasta water is the best way to boost the overall flavors of whatever pasta dish you’re making. It’s the first chance you have to season the pasta and I promise, once you start salting your pasta water, you’ll wonder how you ever did without! Add about 2-4 tablespoons Kosher salt to your large pot of boiling water before adding the uncooked pasta. Don’t worry about the pasta getting too salty – most of that salt goes down the drain when you strain the pasta anyway!
  • Feel free to switch up the ingredients in this pasta. You can use this recipe as a blueprint to clean out the fridge! Switch up the veggies and add sun-dried tomatoes with fresh basil and sliced zucchini or use leftover roasted broccoli with sautéed mushrooms. You can also skip the veggies altogether for a simple creamy tortellini dish!
