Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 200 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain the Pasta

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander. Do not rinse the pasta.

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In the same pot over low heat, add 50 grams of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Butter

    Add the drained pasta back into the pot with the melted butter. Toss gently to coat the pasta with the butter.

  5. 5

    Season the Pasta

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the pasta. Toss again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. If the pasta seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve with Cheese and Parsley

    Serve the pasta on plates or bowls. Grate 30 grams of Parmesan cheese on top of each serving and garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley.
