1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
2
Cook Pasta
Add 200 grams of pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.

4
Melt Butter
In the same pot used to cook the pasta, add 100 grams of unsalted butter over medium heat.
5
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the butter has melted, add the drained pasta back to the pot. Mix thoroughly to coat the pasta with the butter.
6
Add Parmesan
Sprinkle 50 grams of grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to create a creamy sauce.
7
Season
Add black pepper to taste and mix well.

Garnish
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley on top.
