Prep Time:10 mins

Servings: 4

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)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the gluten-free pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Step 5

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the butter.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Season the pasta with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the buttered pasta to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Butter Pasta.
