Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Cook Ziti

    Add the ziti pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

Making the Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup of unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked ziti directly into the skillet with the butter sauce. Toss to ensure the pasta is well coated.

  4. 7

    Season

    Stir in the chopped parsley, black pepper to taste, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated.
