Steps

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente.

Once the pasta is done, reserve a little pasta water and drain the rest.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat.
Stir in the chopped herbs, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of reserved pasta water if needed for moisture.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss again to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs and Parmesan if desired.
