Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Use about 4 liters of water for 400 grams of bucatini.

  2. 2

    Cook Bucatini

    Add the bucatini to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, usually around 9-11 minutes, until al dente.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt Goat Butter

    In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the goat butter until it is completely melted and begins to foam.

  2. 4

    Add Pink Peppercorns

    Add the pink peppercorns to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes to release their flavor.

  3. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring well to combine all flavors.

Combining

  1. 6

    Drain Pasta

    Once the bucatini is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

  2. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained bucatini directly to the skillet with the goat butter and pink peppercorn sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta.

  3. 8

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water gradually until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Plate the bucatini and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Add more pink peppercorns on top if desired, and serve immediately.
