Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Spaghetti 

• ½ Stick of Unsalted Butter

• ¼ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

• Salt and Pepper to Taste

Method

• Add a little salt to boiling water and cook spaghetti per the packaged instructions.

• When pasta is cooked al dente, drain the pasta in a colander (do not rinse) and place back into the pot (off the fire).

• Over medium high heat, melt the butter.

• To brown the butter, continue cooking until it foams up and then starts to subside. Begin to swirl the butter so it does not burn.

• Once the butter has turned a brownish, almost cinnamon color, pour over the top of the spaghetti.

• Add the grated parmesan cheese, more salt to taste, and plenty of black pepper.

• Stir Spaghetti to evenly distribute the butter and cheese, and transfer to a warmed platter or directly to warmed plates.
