- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil

🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Pasta:
🍝 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

🧄 In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant—about 2 minutes.
