1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to cook the pasta.
2
Add Pasta
Once the water is boiling, add the 2 cups of pasta to the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3
Cook Pasta
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
4
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, carefully drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

5
Melt Butter
In the same pot used for the pasta, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and heat it over low-medium heat until melted.
6
Add Seasonings
Once the butter is melted, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
7
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta back into the pot with the butter sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
8
Serve
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta, mix well, and serve warm.
