1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 200g of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
2
Drain the Pasta
Once cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.
3
Melt the Butter
In the same pot (off the heat), add 50g of butter. Allow it to melt gently.
4
Combine Pasta and Butter
Add the drained pasta back into the pot with the melted butter. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
5
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Grate 50g of Parmesan cheese and add it to the pasta. Mix well, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired creaminess is achieved. Season with 1 tsp of salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Garnish and Serve
If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle on top before serving. Serve immediately.
