This is the quickest simplest pasta dish I know. White pasta or pasta in butter – can be made with olive oil, but I prefer the buttery version. I guess it depends if youre from northern or southern Italy. I’m not. In its simplest form, its cooked pasta in butter with parmigano sprinkled on top – but we can do better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook a portion of pasta (c100g), drain and retain some of the pasta water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the empty pan, add a small knob of butter and a little crushed garlic (c1\/2 a clove for 1 person) and mix til it is softened and smells less harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the drained pasta back to the pan, and toss it in the butter & garlic. add another knob of butter, and a swig of pasta water and mix – the butter should mix to make a creamy sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add some grated parmagino and mix as it melts into the sauce. you may need another glug of pasta water if it looks claggy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
when it looks ‘right’ dump into a bowl and top with more parmagino and some black pepper. nom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
