Pasta Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Add Pasta

    Add 200 grams of pasta to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pasta

    Cook according to the package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes for al dente pasta.

  4. 4

    Drain the Pasta

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and return it to the pot.

  5. 5

    Prepare Butter Sauce

    If using butter, add 50 grams to the hot pasta in the pot and stir until melted and evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Prepare Tomato Sauce

    If using tomato sauce, heat 200 ml of tomato sauce in a separate saucepan over medium heat until warmed.

  7. 7

    Combine with Sauce

    Pour the melted butter over the pasta or add the warmed tomato sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and, if desired, sprinkle with 30 grams of Parmesan cheese and garnish with 5 fresh basil leaves.
