A delightful and easy-to-make pasta dish combining the richness of butter with the savory taste of Parmesan cheese.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.
Salting the water enhances the flavor of the pasta.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use medium heat to prevent the butter from browning too quickly.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the melted butter and toss to coat.
Toss the pasta thoroughly to ensure it is evenly coated with butter.
Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and black pepper, tossing until the cheese melts and coats the pasta.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
