Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Noodles

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles.

    Add Butter

    In the same pot, add the butter over low heat. Once melted, return the drained noodles to the pot.

  3. 3

    Season and Toss

    Add the reserved pasta water, salt, and black pepper to the noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with butter and seasonings.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Garnish

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
