Directions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
