1
Boil the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
2
Cook the Pasta
Add 200 grams of pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain the Pasta
Once the pasta is cooked, carefully drain it in a colander, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water.
4
Prepare the Sauce
In the same pot, lower the heat and add 50 grams of butter. Allow it to melt slowly.
5
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta to the pot with melted butter. Toss the pasta gently to coat it evenly with the butter.
6
Add Cheese
Grate 50 grams of Parmesan cheese and add it to the pasta. Toss well to combine. If the pasta seems dry, gradually add reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
7
Season the Pasta
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the pasta and mix well. If desired, add chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
8
Serve
Plate the pasta and serve immediately while hot.
