Instructions
-
Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta. Cook according to the pasta instructions.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Add in the butter and stir it until it melts in.
- Add in the garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Notes/Tips
- Optional: Salt the water. Add a generous pinch of salt before or after the water starts to boil. Don’t fret. The pasta doesn’t actually absorb all the salt, it just helps to flavor the noodles a bit.
- Gluten-Free Version: This works well with almost any gluten-free pasta. We prefer Banza brand, though.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use vegan butter or ghee (a lactose-free version of butter). Either omit the Parmesan cheese or try substituting a dairy-free version like this one.
