The simplicity of this recipe is great for a quick and easy meal and
easy to keep the ingredients on hand for those days you don't have
anything planned. It is also very tasty.
Boil water with 3/4 ts salt and cook spaghetti according to the
directions on the package.
Reserve one cup of the pasta water when draining the spaghetti.
Add 2 tb of salted butter to the empty pot that you cooked the
spagetti in along with 1 ts of pepper and cook on medium heat until
fragrant.
Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir until a glossy
sauce forms.
Reduce heat to low and add spaghetti to the pot. Then pour in the
grated cheese and the other 2 tb of butter.
Use tongs to quickly mix the spaghetti into the sauce and cheese.
Enjoy while still hot and top with a little more cheese and freshly
ground pepper if desired.
