🍝 Cannabutter Garlic Herb Pasta

🌿 A savory, comfort-food recipe infused with cannabis butter — perfect for lunch, dinner, or a mellow date night.

🧄 Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

• 8 oz spaghetti or pasta of your choice

• 3 tbsp cannabutter (adjust based on potency)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

• 1 tsp lemon zest (optional but brightens the flavor)

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)

• Salt and black pepper to taste

🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook Pasta
   Bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water before draining.

2. Infuse the Sauce
   In a large skillet over low heat, melt cannabutter gently. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown the butter).

3. Add Flavor
   Stir in chili flakes, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water to emulsify the sauce slightly.

4. Toss It Together
   Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the cannabutter mixture.

5. Finish It Off
   Season with salt, pepper, and parsley. Top with Parmesan if desired.

6. Serve Warm, with a chilled drink and good vibes.

🧠 Dosing Note:

Let’s say your cannabutter is 10mg THC per tablespoon. If you use 3 tbsp, that’s 30mg THC total. Divide that among 3 servings = ~10mg per serving.

You can easily adjust the amount of cannabutter to match your desired dose — for microdosing, use 1 tbsp of cannabutter + 2 tbsp regular butter or olive oil.
