Butter Noodles (aka Pasta with Butter)

Ingredients

  • 6 oz spaghetti
  • 1 Tbsp butter (enough to coat the pasta)
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt (to taste)

Steps

  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add a good amount of salt. Taste the water, it should taste salty, almost like sea/ocean water. Then add spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Cook until al dente, not too hard, though (if you use a good quality pasta it won't get mushy).

  3. 3

    Use a pasta fork and remove the pasta from the water and place directly into two plates. Top with butter and mix until well-coated.
