Cooking time : 10 Min
Level of difficulty : Low
Ingredients
4 servings
- 1/2 lb (225 gr) butter, at room temperature
- salt
- 1/2 lb (225 gr) parmigiano cheese, freshly grated
- 1 lb (450 gr) fettuccine noodles or other pasta type spaghetti
Preparation
- Place half of the butter in a serving bowl. Keep the bowl warm.
- Cook the fettuccine in abundant salted water. When the pasta is perfectly al dente, (firm but not too soft or overcooked), drain without shaking the colander too much, so that the pasta doesn't become too dry.
- Reserve a few tablespoons of the cooking water. Drop the hot pasta in the bowl over the butter.
- Add the rest of the butter and toss quickly to melt it.
- Add the Parmigiano cheese, and a small quantity of the reserved cooking water if the pasta appears too dry. Toss vigorously, and serve immediately, accompanied by a small bowl with more grated Parmigiano cheese.
