    Begin by peeling and finely mincing the 6 cloves of garlic. This will release all its aromatic flavors.

    In a medium skillet, melt 1 cup of butter over medium-low heat. Allow it to fully melt without browning.

    Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

    4

    Chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and add it to the skillet, mixing well with the butter and garlic.

    5

    Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring to incorporate all flavors.

    6

    Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta or as a dipping sauce.
