Simple Pesto Pasta

½ (16 ounce) box dry fettuccine pasta

¼ cup butter, or to taste

3 tablespoons minced garlic

¼ cup pesto

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; cook the fettuccini at a boil until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Transfer the fettuccini to a bowl.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and pesto in the melted butter until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes; pour over the fettuccini and toss to coat.
