Sometimes things don’t have to be complicated to be great.

All I wanted was a plate of pasta without the fuss.

1/2 pound linguine

1 1/2 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Boil 4 cups of water with one tablespoon salt .

Add the pasta and cook till it is almost soft

Mix the butter with the cheese, salt and black pepper

Add the drained pasta saving 1/2 cup of the pasta water

Mix well

If it is too dry add the pasta water

Season with more salt and pepper if needed

This was exactly what I wanted.

Easy , fast, basic and only one pot.
