Preparation

Step 1
Bring about three to four quarts of water to the boil.
Step 2
Add spaghetti and salt to taste. Stir until spaghetti wilts. Continue cooking, stirring often, from seven to nine minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Drain but save about one-half cup of the cooking liquid.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a casserole and add the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, about 30 seconds, and add the tomatoes and reserved liquid while cooking briefly. Add the spaghetti, butter and parsley and stir. Serve.
