Ingredients:
1 lb farfalle pasta ( butterfly pasta)
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Boil the pasta in at least 2 quarts of water until it is tender, but not falling apart. Drain well in a colander (don’t rinse!) and return right away to the warm cooking pot.
Cut up the butter into the pasta and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Add the salt, less if desired. Toss carefully and serve when butter and cheese have fully melted.
NOTE: Do not use the “green can” Parmesan cheese or you will be disappointed! Fresh Romano can also be substituted.
