Spaghetti alla Burro e Parmigiano is a comforting classic that brings together two simple ingredients for a deliciously rich and satisfying meal that you can prepare in no time!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. This will take about 5 minutes.

2

Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of spaghetti. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until 'al dente'.

3

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pan, melt 100 grams of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

4

When the spaghetti is ready, reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and drain the pasta.

5

Add the drained spaghetti to the pan with the melted butter. Toss to coat the spaghetti well with the butter.

6

Gradually add in the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, stirring until you have a creamy sauce.

7

Next, add 50 grams of finely grated Parmesan cheese and mix well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan if desired.

• Add cracked black pepper for a spicy kick.
• Stir in some sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
• Top with toasted pine nuts or walnuts for a crunchy texture.

• Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
• Don't rinse the spaghetti after draining; the starch helps the sauce cling better.
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
