Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Rigatoni pasta
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 150 milliliters Pasta cooking water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 150 milliliters of the pasta cooking water before draining.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved pasta cooking water, whisking gently to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until it melts and blends into the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked rigatoni into the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated in the creamy butter and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta and gently toss again to combine.
Serve the Rigatoni Alla Burrina warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a pinch of parsley, if desired.
