Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta (such as spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the gluten-free pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Continue heating until the butter is fully melted and starts to lightly brown, releasing a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the butter.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta, tossing gently. If the sauce appears too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Season the pasta with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the buttered pasta to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Butter Pasta.
