Method
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 ½ cups of pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.
-
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic to the melted butter. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to brown slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Add 2 bags of chili lime-flavored CauliPuffs to the pan with the garlic and butter. Pour in about ½ cup of the reserved pasta water.
-
Stir continuously, allowing the CauliPuffs to dissolve completely into the mixture. This will take a few minutes and create a thick and creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add more reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
-
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with the sauce. Toss the pasta thoroughly in the sauce to ensure it is evenly coated.
-
Plate the pasta and optionally garnish with parmesan cheese, crushed CauliPuffs, and chopped cilantro.
