Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Cook Noodles

    Add 8 cups of egg noodles to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and set aside, reserving a small amount of the pasta water (about 1/4 cup) if desired.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

    In the same pot used for the noodles, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 5

    Add Seasonings

    Once the butter is melted, stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

  3. 6

    Mix in Noodles

    Add the drained noodles back into the pot with the butter mixture. Toss to coat the noodles evenly with the butter and seasonings. If the noodles seem dry, add a little reserved pasta water.

Serving

  1. 7

    Add Parmesan

    Sprinkle 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the noodles and toss again until the cheese melts and coats the noodles.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top for garnish. Serve immediately while hot.
