How do you eat pasta with butter?

The Basics:

1. Cook your pasta: Follow the package directions for al dente (firm to the bite) pasta.

2. Melt the butter: In a large saucepan, melt a generous amount of butter over low heat. You want the butter to be melted but not browned.

3. Add pasta: Drain the pasta and add it directly to the melted butter. Toss well to coat all the pasta strands.

4. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. You might also like a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

5. Serve: Enjoy immediately!

Tips:

* Butter quality: Use good quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is often preferred, allowing you to control the saltiness.

* Butter quantity: The amount of butter you use is up to your taste. Start with a generous amount and adjust to your preference.

* Garlic: For an extra flavor boost, add a minced garlic clove to the melted butter before adding the pasta.

* Other flavors: For a more complex flavor, add a pinch of herbs like parsley, basil, or oregano.

* Garnish: A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil can elevate your simple buttered pasta.

Enjoy your delicious and simple pasta dish!
