1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Prepare the Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. If using marinara, add it to the pot and stir to combine. If you prefer butter alone, skip this step.
3
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta back to the pot with the melted butter or marinara sauce. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
4
Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with shaved Parmesan cheese.
