1
Cooking the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Butter Option
Return the drained pasta to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mix well, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Marinara Option
In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of marinara sauce over medium heat until warmed through. Pour over the drained pasta and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water to adjust consistency if needed.
